ChristenChristen Defender leather over-the-knee boots

Christen is the eponymous fashion brand of Chilean-Swiss designer Nina Christen, launched in 2024 as an independent platform for her creative vision. After two decades designing accessories for prestigious luxury houses including Celine, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Saint Laurent, and The Row, Christen represents her liberation from corporate constraints. The brand embodies her philosophy of "inventing and dreaming things up," prioritizing craftsmanship and innovation over commercial convention. Launched on e-commerce in September 2024, Christen features meticulously designed shoes, accessories, and clothing produced through close collaboration with specialized factories. Each piece reflects her signature approach: architectural silhouettes, unexpected material innovations, and uncompromising quality. From over-the-knee flat boots to complex woven sandals, the brand showcases slow fashion sensibilities with Japan-made denim, artisanal shearling jackets, and sustainable materials. With a flagship Paris store planned and presence at Bergdorf Goodman, Christen positions itself as a contemporary luxury brand reimagining design beyond industry norms.
