As we transition from summer to autumn or winter to spring, the slingbacks are my preferred shoe - preferably flat or medium height. Comfortable, airy and very chic. Just look at some of the new styles! Some of you love them with a stiletto heel, some with a kitten heel, some even with a practical block heel: when it comes to slingbacks, any variation is on offer this season. From the fashion shows of the collections to the looks of the it-girls in international street style, slingbacks are it!

The highlights for us of the Milan Fashion Week in September 2024 were the Gucci Casual Grandeur collection and Max Mara's clean architectural white/brown combinations. Giorgio Armani's collection was stunning (as per photo), as was Alberta Ferretti's beautiful chiffon creations in pastels. Etro's bohemian prints and knits still reflecting their brand identify but somehow different. And Tod's showcasing the craftmanship of creating the garments and leather accessories.

In 1925 Adele Casagrande and her husband Edoardo Fendi opened the first Fendi boutique in Rome. It was there that Selleria stitching was born, passed down to the couple by the master saddlers of the eternal city to create the very first line of Fendi bags. Handsewn and made of the highest-quality leather, Fendi’s Selleria bags were an instant success.
