About Philippe Model

Philippe Model is a French footwear and apparel label founded in Paris in 1981, taking its name from designer Philippe Model, who trained under Jean Paul Gaultier and Claude Montana before launching his own house. Since 2008, Paolo Gambato has led the creative side, pairing French chic with Italian craftsmanship. The label is best known for its sneakers, from chunky and high-top styles to lower-profile designs, alongside apparel and accessories for men, women and children. Certain lines carry names such as Tropez 2.1 and BLVILLE, and the brand also produces running shoes designed for exploring the city at an easy pace.
