Founded in 2024 by Chilean-Swiss designer Nina Christen, CHRISTEN is a luxury footwear and ready-to-wear label based in Paris. A celebrated “designer’s designer” with a formidable résumé—including pivotal roles at The Row, Loewe, Bottega Veneta, and Phoebe Philo’s Céline—Christen is the silent force behind some of the past decade’s most viral shoe trends, from Bottega’s Puddle boots to Loewe’s balloon pumps. Her eponymous brand distills this expertise into a singular vision of “beautility,” blending extreme, sculptural aesthetics with rigorous Italian craftsmanship and everyday function.
