Emerging designers
Once again, the exciting work of 12 emerging designers will be spotlighted in the Emerging Designers area at the September fair.
The theme is research, bringing together the creations of these young up-and-coming designers who, after going through the usual selection process by a panel of experts, are keen to present themselves to international buyers at MICAM.
Sustainability and originality are the key words of the collections presented: recycled or recyclable materials, attention to the production chain, Made-in, are just some of the distinguishing features of the footwear
presented by the emerging designers.
This year again, the versatility displayed by these young designers is surprising, acquired in the course of numerous work and training experiences that has given them a foothold in the world of fashion and entrepreneurship. They are not simply creative, but also entrepreneurs and founders of brilliant, independent start-ups, ready to conquer the fashion and footwear world! Marketing and social media as well as design and fashion: these are some of the skills that these young designers have exploited in order to emerge and get noticed. They can make their entry into the world of international high- quality footwear
thanks to the exclusive showcase provided by the Emerging Designers area which, now with an entirely new layout, will allow them to present their idea of fashion and style to the public.
From Italy to Argentina, and from Switzerland to Japan, the ‘fashion map’ that these emerging young designers represent is wide-ranging and brimming with evocative fashion ideas. Classic shoes and sneakers, boots and sandals, there are no bounds to their creativity: their work is poised to rewrite the history of footwear thanks to their innovative shapes and obsessive attention to detail.
Innovation and sustainability are the hallmarks of the JUDY MAZZOTTI brand in Italy, created by the homonymous designer, originally from Rimini. Interested in fashion from a very early age, Judy attended the Cercal Institute, the international footwear school based in the San Mauro Pascoli footwear district.
From Colombia to Europe, DANIELA URIBE’s eponymous brand reflects the vibrant Latino culture. She has lived in Paris and London, where she successfully graduated from the prestigious Cordwainers London College of Fashion (LCF), coming top in Footwear Design and Development. She worked for numerous famous brands before founding her own label.
USMAN MANZOOR founded Çaplait (in Pakistan) following an extensive career in the business world. Before this, he supplied footwear to a leading retailer, was Enterprise Manager for high-profile entrepreneur Peter Jones, worked with the Bradford Chamber of Commerce and was Business Development Manager for a successful start-up in the media sector.
MINACAPILLI (Switzerland): Andrea and Massimo are united by a passion for fashion.
