About

THE BRAND

Adult Attire is light-hearted and tongue-in-cheek, since 2018. Our core pieces are bold leather high-heeled shoes, that we offer in a very extended size-range, up to 46 and above. Our 'Heels For All' mantra is more of an invitation to play than a political statement. Although…


We propose fine pieces, entirely made by hand, in Belgium. Pieces that bring together timeless craftsmanship and bold contemporary statements. Through continuous research and explorations, we develop shoes like stories: flowers suspended in glass-like heels, leather applications opening up to reveal a bright satin underlay… Or this time we tripled the size of a tiny pump by applying a fur-like sisal mat on it. It looked like it was bursting open.


Truth is, we work to-order because we look for a privileged contact with our customer. It just seems best practice, and it allows us to constantly perfect our craft.

Adult explores ways for attire to emulate freedom. And sometimes, we might surprise you with pieces that have nothing to do with shoes.

THE DESIGNER

Raphaële was trained as a fashion designer at the Royal Academy of Antwerp. Using design as a starting point, her process is arborescent: the destination isn't established but rather the result of unexpected encounters. The red thread is Raphaële's fundamentally disruptive mindset, and playfulness in execution.

With Adult, Raphaële explores a core value of her practice: social activation through attire. The art is what happens when someone is choosing to place themselves in an unexpected situation.

Raphaële has a global practice encompassing leather-work, fashion design, painting, photography and writing.

The Fresco Afterglow ankle boot captures the moment after the spark. A slow burn rendered in gradient brush-off bovine leather, revealing a sultry black underlayer through our signature “cracking” construction.

Engineered for a tight, sculpted fit, the silhouette elongates into an extended square toe: precise, provocative, and unapologetically relevant. An 80 mm leather-covered heel, finished with a logo-embossed metal plate, grounds the look with architectural intent.

A side-zip closure keeps the profile clean, while the ankle-height shaft delivers that perfect proportion between rebellion and refinement. That boot doesn’t walk, it smolders.

All our shoes are made-to-order. Please consult our FAQ page or email info@adult-attire.com for more details.
