4CCCCEEES: PLIA FERO CAMEL
Sang-Min Park set up 4CCCCEES with four guiding principles:
Confidence | Comfort | Contemporary | Curiosity
The four C’s outline Park’s personal mission to bring something new to the footwear market and showcase the cutting-edge of design through her work. Through her curiosity, she has merged a contemporary aesthetic with comfort, empowering and bringing confidence to those who wear them.
"Footwear is the unique object that can change the mood, as well as the stride and posture, of the wearer. That's why focusing on the foot's anatomy, rhythm and movement, is so vital to footwear design,” says SANGMIN PARK, founder of 4CCCCEES.
After graduating from the Royal College of Art in London with a master’s degree in Footwear Design, and subsequently working for renowned fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen and becoming head designer at United Nude, Korean-born Sang-Min Park decided to set up her own label in 2019. Seeking to merge comfort with a fashion-forward aesthetic, 4CCCCEES brings a new dimension to the industry, pushing the boundaries of materiality and form thanks to innovation in technology and manipulation.
Carved from foam rubber to mimic natural textures like dandelion heads and mushroom gills, PLIA embodies buoyancy and lightness. Inspired by traditional chunky wooden clogs, the base of the shoe combines flexible, modern materials with a voluminous silhouette. Plia Fero will keep you warm and cosy during the colder months. The boot is made from sheep shearling including sock liner, maximizing the warmth. The pair is made as a single layer of material without any reinforcement for a softer and weightless feeling. The seams are accented with shearling-piping emphasizing its minimal silhouette.
