The footwear brand launches its special edition sneaker, which combines Italian craft workmanship with a cutting-edge style, by the renowned French shoe designer.  

Vice President of Assocalzaturifici responsible for the European market, Giovanna Ceolini tells us about the on-going trends for Made in Italy in Europe in an exclusive interview.

Inspired by Parisian damasks and the pastel colours of macaroons, the SS20 collection of Manolo Blahnik has already conquered the brand’s fans.

The awards ceremony for the 24th edition of the Scarpetta d’Oro was held on 16 November at the Palarcobaleno in Fossò, Venice

The decision arises from the desire to put interaction with the consumer in a place of primary importance

From the co-lab between Converse and One Block Down, the tenth anniversary of the retailer is celebrated with the launching of “Protect your Icon”.

Ellesse opens a new chapter in its story with the new SS2020 collection, reinterpreting its heritage in a streetwear key.

After the first six months of 2019, which saw footwear exports characterised by a dynamic positive trend in value and a favourable trade balance with double-digit growth, an alarming drop-off in volumes occurred, with a growing gap between leading designer labels and SMEs, and a domestic market in difficulty.

With a capsule collection that reproduces the shape of the planet on some of the iconic styles of the brand.

From one end, the weak banking system and devalued currency in Kazakhstan, and from the other end, the political-economic crises of the Ukraine, influenced the outcome of the last editions of Moda Made in Italy @Almaty and Moda Made in Italy @Kiev organised by Assocalzaturifici with Ente Moda Italia. Despite this, a number of business opportunities still presented themselves.

Notwithstanding the leading market value of the Russian market, Obuv mir Kozi – in Moscow from 21 to 24 October 2019 – did not manage to overcome the negative predictions made on the eve of the event, with clientele prey to the uncertainties surrounding the new system of mandatory marking, and the constant search for the best price.

The French brand presented the innovative project of a running shoe that can be recycled at the end of its lifetime into a ski boot, and by 2030, the brand intends to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 30%.

Created by Palladium at the beginning of the 50’s as an outdoor boot, its latest interpretation is presented as part of a collaboration with Kenzo, proposing a more urban version with vintage logos that recall its glorious past.

When values are the mission behind the brand: Veja, the brand of ecological sneakers that first debuted fifteen years ago, has conquered the world while also enjoying an incredible online success that has made it part of the Lyst top brand classification. Today, it opens its first flagship store in Paris, in the heart of Marais.
