Heirloom
The Heirloom trend celebrates craftsmanship and traditional appeal. Inspired by retro and rural aesthetics, this trend promotes the use of natural materials such as raffia and suede, enhancing handcrafted details such as fringes and heels in natural materials. Heirloom represents a mix of authenticity and rustic elegance, with a strong connection to cultural and community heritage.
Avant-Garde
Avant-Garde embraces individuality and creative expression. This trend mixes sporty and preppy styles with bold creativity, using unexpected materials and bold color-blocking. Key details include retro perforations and shiny finishes, creating dynamic and innovative shoes that stand out for their unique and wearable style.
Empathy
Empathy embodies a sensual and intimate allure, ranging from minimalism to maximalism. Focus on delicate materials and rich textures, with details such as draping, scrunchy effects, and lace-up elements. This trend celebrates the fusion of comfort and sophistication, inviting the wearer to connect with their senses and embrace the beauty of imperfections.
Preservation
The Preservation trend combines innovation and biotechnology, projecting a futuristic and elegant aesthetic. Featuring innovative and sustainable materials, this trend emphasizes functionality and longevity with a utility aesthetic. Preservation combines form and function, offering a vision in which fashion and technology converge to create lasting and sustainable styles.
