“No age, no gender, no sex — I wanted everyone to feel included.” Fan first is Miley Cyrus’s personal mission when it comes to designing her first debut collection with Converse, and it’s a massive one at that. Channeling her persona as a performer as well as her day-to-day style results in footwear and apparel that can be worn at any time.
Much of it has to do with Miley’s own view of all things possible, and with this collaboration with Converse, she aims to focus and narrow down on the feeling of self-empowerment. The collection then, is the answer to that feeling, allowing the wearer to be exactly who they want every single day.
“Converse has no boundaries,” she said. “It’s outspoken. I’ve always identified with Converse
because the brand appeals and represents so many different cultures and walks of life. And,
they’re accessible.”
This too translates into the models of her lookbook. After previous months of anticipation and sneak peeks, Miley invited her biggest fans across genders, orientations, and backgrounds to model for the collection. Shot by legendary fashion photographer Ellen Von Unwerth, the images capture the energetic, bold and inclusive nature of Miley.
“I definitely had my fans in mind and in my heart when I was creating,” she said. “I put what they love about me and what I love about them into the design.”
Whether sparkling with the Chuck Taylor All Star “Glitter” or looking to channel Miley’s performance and country roots in the “Bandana,” individuals can piece together looks from the 26-piece collection for any mood or style.
The Converse x Miley Cyrus is available from Converse Pavilion, Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley, and KLCC on May 3rd with footwear and apparel ranging from RM149.90-RM369.90. Footwear can be found in Converse City Square, Tebrau City, AWLAB KLCC and Lazada Malaysia.
