Amy Smith, TOM’s Chief Brand and Impact Officer, expresses her enthusiasm for this collaboration, remarking, "Collaborating with Batsheva for the SS24 NYFW Presentation has been an incredibly exciting journey. The fusion of TOMS' renowned comfort and Batsheva's unique design perspective has resulted in a collection that captures the essence of both brands. We are thrilled to bring to life a captivating array of footwear that not only embodies style but also reflects our shared commitment to purpose-driven fashion. This partnership stands as a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration, and we can't wait to share it with the world."

Designer Batsheva Hay provides her insight, saying, "My collection was heavily inspired by the 1950s. I made dresses out of placemats and oven mitts, so the inspiration was a sort of DIY housewife. We thought it would be cool to hand-sew ruffly trims around the edges and on top of TOMS shoes, to take the casual vibe of the shoes and make them frilly and feminine. We used deadstock lace and ruffled trims that we sourced locally here in NYC."
