Kamik x Cécile Gariepy

This first collaboration is part of our mission to celebrate Canadian art and culture. We’ve teamed up with Montreal-based illustrator Cécile Gariépy—known for her playful, colourful style—to bring her work to limited collections for adults and kids. More than footwear, it’s Canadian artistry you can wear.

Interview with Cécile Gariépy

Kamik collaborates with artist Cécile Gariépy, designing new Nova clog insoles.

Why collaborate with Kamik?

I chose to collaborate with Kamik because I admire their commitment to quality and durability. As an illustrator, I want to contribute to creating pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional for everyday life and built to last. In a world where planned obsolescence is common, I wanted to work with a local brand like Kamik, offering an alternative to fast consumption.

What’s the story behind the choice of faces for the clogs?

For this project, I wanted to bring forward expressive characters through very simplified shapes. Since the illustration is somewhat hidden inside the clog, the aim was to create a surprise effect. With two illustrations featuring faces with mixed features, I wanted to capture the idea that you can wear these clogs at any time of day and in any mood, whether dressing up to grab a coffee or slipping them on the morning after a night out...!

What do you find interesting about the clog?

Personally, I would wear clogs all the time! Even if it’s maybe a bad habit, I always keep my shoes on indoors, which is why I find clogs practical. I don’t have to complicate things or compromise on comfort—I wear the same pair of shoes inside or outside! I love how Kamik’s clogs can add a touch of personality to an outfit. The faces I integrated into the soles become a fun way to stand out while staying comfortable.
