“Digital Rain” and “Peacock” both feature patterns dear to Williamson the first one was created for his Winter 2012 collection, the second one bearing his signature motif.

“I’m drawn to the way Havaianas capture playfulness and light-heartedness in their products there is clearly an element of fun … I wanted to embrace this sensibility in the rain boots and so chose prints that were whimsical without being kitsch,” the designer told Vogue UK.

The two creations will be available for the Fall/Winter 2012 season, priced at €85 (approximately S$135.86).
