Kaia Gerber’s Early 2020 Fashion Month Shoes: Fendi, Jimmy Choo & By Far Boots

In February and March 2020, Kaia Gerber moved between New York and Paris in a run of early-2020 looks that captured her off-duty model style: oversized tailoring, leather outerwear, straight-leg denim, and boots practical enough for moving between shows and events.

Her footwear ranged from black suede ankle boots at the High Fidelity premiere in New York on February 13 to sleek knee-high Jimmy Choo boots in Paris on February 28 and By Far ankle boots after the Miu Miu show on March 3. The three outfits also brought together Fendi, Charlotte Knowles, Alexander Wang, RE/DONE, Marc Jacobs, and other labels that defined her wardrobe during that Fashion Month.

High Fidelity Premiere: Black Ankle Boots With Fendi and Charlotte Knowles

For the High Fidelity premiere in New York on February 13, 2020, Kaia layered a brown Fendi leather trench over a simple white ribbed cropped tank and Charlotte Knowles floral-patterned trousers. The fitted white top kept the focus on the print while breaking up the darker leather layers.

She finished the ’90s-influenced look with black suede ankle boots and a slim black leather shoulder bag, keeping the rest of the accessories understated. The boots are easy to overlook beside the patterned trousers, but their simple shape grounds an outfit already mixing print, leather, and a cropped silhouette.

After Miu Miu: By Far Ankle Boots With Alexander Wang and RE/DONE Denim

After walking the Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2020 show in Paris on March 3, Kaia changed out of her embellished runway gown and into an off-duty combination of a black turtleneck and navy Alexander Wang structured oversized blazer.

She paired the blazer with RE/DONE high-waisted relaxed straight-leg jeans and By Far ankle boots. The relatively narrow boots work well with the relaxed denim and oversized jacket, keeping the proportions from becoming too heavy.

A mint-green Marc Jacobs “The Vanity” bag added the outfit’s main hit of color. Kaia also carried black oval sunglasses and wore gold hoop earrings, while keeping the ’40s-inspired hairstyle created for the Miu Miu runway by Guido Palau.

Paris at Night: Jimmy Choo Knee-High Boots With Alexander Wang Pinstripes

In Paris on February 28, 2020, Kaia wore an Alexander Wang pinstripe cami mini dress beneath an oversized longline black leather trench coat.

Rather than pairing the short dress with pumps or sandals, she chose sleek black Jimmy Choo “Mavourneen” knee-high boots. Their low block heels made them a more practical choice for walking in Paris while extending the long, dark line created by the leather coat.

She completed the mostly black look with an Alexander Wang “Attica” leather belt bag, carried separately rather than fastened around her waist. The compact bag, pinstripes, and low-heeled boots gave the outfit a sharper finish without adding another statement piece.

The Alexander Wang Connection: Pete Davidson Steps Out in New Balance Sneakers

Kaia’s repeated Alexander Wang looks during this period also connect to the relationship story surrounding her at the time. She was a regular presence on the designer’s runway, and Alexander Wang’s Collection 1 2020 show in May 2019 was also where she and Pete Davidson are believed to have first crossed paths.

On October 23, 2019, Pete was seen leaving Kaia’s SoHo apartment, wearing a black jacket, a yellow shirt underneath, sweatpants, and New Balance sneakers.
