DENIM: Its use in footwear grows
The incorporation of denim into footwear manufacturing represents one of the most disruptive hybridizations between traditional workwear, urban fashion and the luxury segment. Beyond a mere seasonal aesthetic resource, the use of denim in uppers has transformed the perception of the material and the dynamics of industrial design within leather goods and footwear.
Denim has brought the concept of the wardrobe staple into footwear. It facilitates the creation of total denim proposals and breaks the formality of traditional silhouettes such as Louis XV, stilettos, booties, moccasins, sneakers, mules and a wide variety of lines, adding a relaxed character without losing sophistication.
High-end brands and creative directors have adopted denim to reinterpret iconic models, including designer sneakers, knee-high boots and platform sandals, consolidating the Y2K aesthetic -the 2000s- and redefining contemporary luxury through everyday materials.
