Tommy Ton for Malone Souliers.
Ahead of another looming fashion month, Malone Souliers has taken its latest shoes to one of the cities that knows a thing or two about getting dressed. For its Autumn/Winter 2026 runway campaign, Paris becomes the backdrop for Tommy Ton’s camera and Chiara Batistoni’s styling, putting the season’s elongated toes, curious heels and intricate details into the rhythm of the French capital.
The campaign marks another chapter in Malone Souliers’ creative relationship with Ton, following their previous work together in New York. Best known for turning street style into an art form, the photographer brings that same instinct for catching fashion in motion here, placing the shoes against Parisian streets.
The footwear comes from the AW26 collection, first presented at London Fashion Week in February at the Royal Academy of Arts. Leading the new arrivals is the Rowe mule, with its elongated square toe and Wave heel, a sinuous new shape inspired by the curves of the house’s Maureen. The Raven knee-high boot and Rowan ankle boot follow with covered buckles, while the Knightsbridge loafer takes a more traditional route through handcrafted moccasin construction.

Things get considerably more decorative with the Kali sandal, where circular motifs cascade into gold embellishments that catch the light with every step. The Halo mule and stiletto slingback take Malone Souliers’ familiar strap and turn it into polished metal, with the matching Halo handbag carrying the same hardware into the accessories edit. The Arc family takes another trip through the house’s curved design language, appearing across bi-material pumps, ankle boots and the Maureen. Elsewhere, laser-cut leather takes on a zebra-inspired pattern, while embossed patent leather mimics the texture of python through a specialised cutting technique. There is plenty to look at, in other words, even before anyone gets to the heels.
The wider AW26 collection plays with graphic silhouettes, sculptural footwear and Sixties references, bringing satin, crystal embellishment and high-shine finishes into the mix.
Underneath all that visual play is the craftsmanship Malone Souliers has built its reputation around. The brand works with highly skilled Italian artisans and premium materials, while maintaining Leather Working Group certification and a zero-waste approach across its production.
