PREVIEW: MICAM MILANO


PIERINI CALZATURE (Italy): Francesco Pierini has become an expert in fashion footwear, with an apprenticeship in Florence where he spent a year working in a shoe company, and then specialised at a footwear academy in Naples. He has created two collections: the first featuring a sneaker based on everyday experience; the second, an elegant, sophisticated shoe.


DAMIANO MOSCA, from Argentina, created his brand – Mosca Shoes – with the intention of honouring his family surname. The collection he will be bringing at MICAM focuses on the various forms of Texan boot, revisited and “mixed” with neo-tribal accents.


SOQUE was created in Paris in 2022 by Laure Chareton and Camille Cour. Laure worked at a number of digital marketing agencies where she explored and developed her passion for fashion. In Soque she is in charge of Artistic Direction and Marketing. Camille, CEO of Soque, worked for almost 10 years as a consultant for a large international group to brands, retailers and large commercial enterprises.


Japanese designer CHIE TACHINO trained in Tokyo, London and Paris. She has many years of experience in the design and manufacture of footwear, and her expertise include silk lingerie design for kimonos, and footwear and bag design, but she has also worked as a model.


Brazilian designer SIMONE NUNES has worked with numerous companies in São Paulo and Rio De Janeiro. The Room brand was founded in 2016, with the idea of prioritising craftsmanship, quality and exclusivity. Room is inspired by the home and the idea of taking a sense of home wherever you go.


French designer MATHILDE BLETTERY studied law but she came into contact with the footwear world thanks to her parents who own four shoe stores. Mathilde’s growing interest in the sector resulted in the creation of the UBAC brand in 2018; she aims to conquer Europe with this brand.
