Luxury footwear brand Stuart Weitzman launched a 2026 Chinese New Year capsule celebrating the Year of the Horse. The collection, featured in the brand’s new spring campaign “Concrete Paradise,” is modeled by Chinese brand ambassador Xi Mengyao. Designs incorporate horsebit hardware and crystals across styles including ballet flats, riding boots, and Mary Janes. In a notable cultural collaboration, the brand partnered with artisans of the Shui ethnic minority in Guizhou to incorporate traditional horsehair embroidery. Custom embroidered charms featuring six auspicious patterns are attached to the shoes. The limited capsule is now available in Stuart Weitzman’s Chinese boutiques and online channels.
