Platform Celebrating Women Innovating for Women Launches with Inaugural Collaboration

Naturalizer, a lead Caleres (NYSE:CAL) brand and the fashion footwear brand that put women first, first by revolutionizing how women’s footwear is made, unveils the Gen N Project for spring 2024.

Naturalizer created the Gen N Project to advance the ideals of comfort for women through a series of partnerships with women and brands inspiring the future with their actions. It is a collective of women who share a common vision in the pursuit of design, content and cultural innovation, that champions the unstoppable power of women. Naturalizer’s partnership with Deepica kicks off this series in which the brand will be tapping global thought leaders who are each using their voice, platform and products to inspire a more inclusive world for women.

Deepica has dedicated her career and inclusive beauty brand, Live Tinted, to championing multicultural beauty and creating a platform that gives voice to underrepresented individuals. Her mission to change the beauty narrative, standing for equal representation, perfectly complements Naturalizer’s constant pursuit of innovating for inclusivity. Deepica strongly believes that transparency should color every action one takes, and she and Naturalizer have a shared ambition to normalize and advocate for inclusivity for every woman.

With this mission, Deepica selected Unicorn Island Fund to be the benefitting charity for the Naturalizer capsule. Deepica and Naturalizer are proud to support the work of Unicorn Island Fund to change how girls and women are seen, heard and valued.

Deepica states, “My intention is to lead by example, to show other brands they can do it too. I hope for a future where we no longer have to call out inclusivity or representation. That it can just exist.” She continues, “It’s been a dream of mine to do a fashion collaboration. Finding the right partner that embraces my vision, my message of inclusivity and representation. It felt clear to me that Naturalizer is aligned with the same values as Live Tinted and that is why I chose them.”

The collaboration’s limited-edition capsule named Illuminate will make its debut in March 2024. The easy-to-wear slide was designed with the busy lifestyle of today’s woman in mind. It is offered in two heel heights, true to Naturalizer’s iconic comfort and fit, and three transparent tints called 1, 2, and 3, mirroring the naming philosophy of Live Tinted’s concealer shades.

Angelique Joseph, senior vice president of design and development at Naturalizer, says, “Deepica brought meaningful intention to the partnership, challenging us to weave in the symbolism of transparency in some capacity in the shoe design. Illuminate was created using a new material for Naturalizer that allows your own skin color to be seen through the three semi-transparent tones of the shoes, allowing every woman to find the shade that celebrates her skin tone, making her feel seen.”

The Naturalizer x Deepica Mutyala campaign merges beauty with fashion. In a series of intimate portraits captured by Daymion Mardel with makeup done by Daniel Martin, Deepica, along with entrepreneur and journalist Lauren Chan, and body positivity activist Khrystyana, were asked to illuminate their true selves. The women are wearing Live Tinted makeup throughout the campaign.

The collaboration launches on March 20, 2024. The Illuminate will retail for $125 and be available at Naturalizer.com and Nordstrom.com.
