LAUNCH // 2018SOURCE LINK ↗

Design Concept

The 'Broken Plate' graphic for the Loafer silhouette was a bold statement for the Fall/Winter 2018 season, directly tapping into Filling Pieces's heritage of blending high-fashion aesthetics with raw, urban subculture influences. The design draws inspiration from fragmented ceramic art and the visual disruption found in avant-garde street art, symbolizing a deconstruction of traditional luxury and a reassembly into something uniquely contemporary and edgy, perfectly aligning with the brand's ethos of 'Goudou' (meaning 'good' in Dutch slang) but with an unexpected, artistic twist.

Detailed Features

  • // The 'Broken Plate' graphic features a distressed, fragmented pattern reminiscent of shattered porcelain, rendered in a stark black and white contrast that commands attention.
  • // Subtle Filling Pieces branding is integrated into the graphic's design, often appearing as a distressed logo or tag within the broken elements, maintaining a sophisticated yet underground feel.
  • // The loafer silhouette itself is characterized by clean lines, with the graphic serving as the primary decorative element, eschewing excessive hardware for a more minimalist approach to the shoe's construction.
  • // High-quality stitching ensures durability and reinforces the premium construction, with tonal black thread used to maintain the graphic's integrity and the shoe's sleek appearance.
