Sculptured Heels

July 18, 2019 Stefano Casarola

For this spring summer 2019 the heel becomes the real protagonist of the shoe and assumes truly unexpected forms. Heels like sculptures that embellish the whole look.

WOVEN

July 2, 2019 Stefano Casarola

Shoes made with woven leather is an other trend of this 2019 summer season. Woven leather is certainly soft, fresh and has a strong personality. The most used colors for this kind of upper are the earth colors like beige and brown but it fits well also with gold, silver and pastel tones.

THIN: a NEW MUST HAVE

June 25, 2019 Stefano Casarola

The sandals with thin straps are among the protagonists of this summer 2019. They are minimal and more sensual because they discover even more the foot. They can be combined with elegant outfits or they can be used with a pair of jeans. They tend to have a high heel for greater harmony with the lightness of the upper. Bright colors are used to enhance their visibility.

January 8, 2019 Stefano Casarola

Born for Alpine walks, the trekking boots now become the right shoes to discover unexpected but beautiful areas of your town, or to go to work on foot. Interested in following this latest trend?

CHECK THIS OUT

December 20, 2018 Stefano Casarola

Check, tartan and pied de poule fabrics are a must have for this winter season. The tradition of red, green and blue is always present, but there are also new combinations and innovative interpretations, capable of surprising with a rock touch like yellow together with black.

CHUNKY SNEAKERS

December 4, 2018 Stefano Casarola

This winter sneakers will look at the future. The so called Chunky Sneakers are king size shoes with big, exaggerated rubber soles, very different from retro trainers and more adequate for a moon landing. These shoes are far away from the world of sport, but despite their apparent lack of harmony, they have been quite appreciated by the fashion world. Probably created to astonish, chunky shoes together with socks shoes confirm a recent trend: the more a product is strange and unusual, the more it becomes interesting for consumers and social media and the more it becomes a trend.

JUNGLE FEVER

November 6, 2018 Stefano Casarola

Animalier has always been on fashion but this winter we will be witness to his consecration. Town will transform in modern jungles and we will be walking along the streets among tigers, leopards, zebra and pythons. In fact it will be possible to give an animalier touch to one’s outfit choosing from coats to jacket, pants, skirts or shoes. For seductive women.

Somewhere over the rainbow

July 19, 2018 Stefano Casarola

Summer is a season strictly linked to colors. And rainbow is the symbol of colors. That’s why this magical phenomenon has inspired the designers for the ready to wear and accessories collections of this Summer 2018. Clothes, shoes and bags become a mix of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. It’s time to wear these colors all together.

Flap Flap Fringe

July 3, 2018 Stefano Casarola

Native Americans were probably the first to wear garments with fringes, a border of hanging strips made from suede or leather which could have served as a dropping way for rain.

Only in the 1920s fringe became a decorative fashion embellishment thanks to the flapper girls look. These women listened to jazz, danced Charleston and smoked. They wore short dresses or skirts decorated with fringes which gave a bit of more length to that daring style, pearls necklaces, feathers accessories and mid heel ankle strap shoes useful for fast dances.

The use of fringe was then adopted by the hippies in the late 1960s. For this youth movement, which rejected the mainstream values and was interested in civil rights and oppressed minority groups, wearing fringe was a way to demonstrate solidarity to the Native American cause. But is the film Easy Rider which gives the fringe look a fashion statement more than a political one. Unforgettable is the scene where Dennis Hopper is wearing a fringed brown suede jacket while riding his motorcycle on the musical notes of the song Born to be wild.

Todays fringes are on fashion again. Both clothes and accessories are embellish with fringes. For this SS18 also raffia fringes have been used.

Transparent Mania

June 5, 2018 Stefano Casarola

Transparent material for accessories is one of the key trend for SS18. It has been used for shoes, from pumps to sandals to mules, but also for bags, earrings, gloves and hats. This theme has emerged during the S/S 18 catwalks, and it will probably feature also in the streetstyle trends through to SS 19. From the Balenciaga, Balmain and Yeezy catwalks through to Zara, the trend has infiltrated different markets, and has been picked up by key influencers such as Kim Kardashian-West and Aimee Song.

FUR

January 9, 2018 Stefano Casarola

January is probably the coldest month of the year. To afford it being on fashion, the solution can be to wear a faux fur choosing it from the different proposals of top brands, from black to camel to more ironic pastel colors. This winter trend regards also shoes, even though sandals and mules shown here are made with real fur. If you are not afraid of shivering with cold, the best thing would be to put them on without socks or stockings.

FETISH PUNK

December 19, 2017 Stefano Casarola

If you have a rock soul, this year you can choose a more aggressive look inspired by the many dark ladies dressed in black leather seen during the autumn-winter 2017/18 catwalks. Buckles and chains, studs and brooches, but also elegant and hyper-feminine shapes characterize shoes which are halfway between fetish punk and underground style.

October 17, 2017 Stefano Casarola

This winter we are being witness to the incredible explosion of a "blossom mania". Most of ready to wear collections are full of dresses with flowered patterns, testifying that a floral story is not exclusive to spring. Boots, pumps, sandals, sneakers and loafers are decorated with every kind of flowers. Printed on leather, on velvet or on other fabrics. Reminding us to an idea of orientalism or to the shoes of the eighteenth century.
