Stuart Weitzman\u2019s Fall 2019 Campaign, SW Boot Camp, celebrates women making bold, powerful moves in their daily lives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In line with that, the campaign was produced alongside a group of trailblazing women, including photographer and director Charlotte Wales, stylist Clare Richardson and choreographer Danielle Polanco.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the concept of SW Boot Camp,\u201d says campaign star Kendall Jenner. \u201cFall really is the season when everyone is on the top of their fashion game, feeling powerful, confident and ready to make moves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scene II: #SWSTRENGTH, starring Kendall Jenner and featuring dance sensation Lil Buck, takes this concept to the next level as it further conveys the story of movement as a source of power.<\/p>\n

ABOUT SCENE II: #SWSTRENGTH<\/strong><\/p>\n

#SWSTRENGTH depicts femininity as a source of strength for both women and men, while highlighting how SW boots inspire the confidence to dance through life\u2019s challenges. It features Kendall Jenner and Lil Buck moving effortlessly and in complete synchronicity with one another through drill-inspired choreography \u2014 each wearing fall\u2019s breakout style, the MCKENZEE combat boot.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t told to dance a certain way, I was just told to do my own thing,” Lil Buck says of his experience. “I could glide across the floor however I wanted to. It was really freeing.”<\/p>\n

BEHIND THE SCENES<\/strong><\/p>\n

The scene was brought to life through both a dynamic short film and commanding complementary images thanks to some of the most trailblazing women in the creative arts, including photographer and director Charlotte Wales, stylist Clare Richardson and choreographer Danielle Polanco.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t told to dance a certain way, I was just told to do my own thing,” Lil Buck says of his experience. “I could glide across the floor however I wanted to. It was really freeing.”<\/p>\n

As for his interactions with Kendall Jenner? “She’s so open to challenging herself and learning new things, which made the experience really fun,” Lil Buck says. “And she can move. I’ve seen it for myself \u2014 she can move.”<\/p>\n

THE MCKENZEE BOOT: ALL THE DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MCKENZEE delivers SW\u2019s take on the classic combat boot silhouette \u2014 the unequivocal trend of Fall 2019 \u2014 with a completely monochromatic approach. In fact, everything from the smooth calf upper to the hardware to the soles to the laces are designed to match. The lightweight lug-sole boot is just as versatile and comfortable as a sneaker, thus staying true to the brand’s DNA of melding fashion, function and fit.<\/p>\n

MCKENZEE STAR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MCKENZEE STAR, a limited-edition version of the MCKENZEE, features embroidered SW Star motifs \u2014 a new brand code for Stuart Weitzman. The SW Star is inspired by the biggest star in the universe, the sun, and symbolises the fiery energy of women and their power to light the way for the future.<\/p>\n

MCKENZEE MEN\u2019S<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re making SW history with limited-edition MCKENZEE MEN’S, the brand\u2019s first-ever menswear design. An interpretation of the women\u2019s MCKENZEE engineered specifically with a men\u2019s fit, this mid-calf boot symbolises looking to femininity as style inspiration and a source of strength. And there was no better person to debut this boundary-breaking boot than Lil Buck. The star dancer and founder of Movement Art Is, an organisation that uses movement artistry to inspire change in the world, is featured wearing the dark emerald leather version in the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wear boots a lot when I just want to take the world by storm,\u201d Lil Buck says. \u201cWith these boots I felt like a badass on set dancing with Kendall. I loved wearing them.\u201d<\/p>\n
