MICAM PREVIEW
EHONTE - SERGIO SILVA “Dark Geometric”
Inspired by his mother who, before going to work, always put on her shoes last, as the final gesture before facing the world, Sergio soon became interested in footwear. After emigrating to the United States, he continued to believe in his dream. His collection is inspired by the Bauhaus in which form follows function.
It is a “democratic” collection that takes its cue from art and history, from the opinions of consumers as well as those of artisans. His brand uses independent Brazilian craftsmen and leathers made according to the highest standards of sustainability.
SELVA - JUAN GIMÉNEZ “Pop Chic”
Juan had various different jobs before settling down to concentrate on his passion for footwear. After graduating in English Philology, he worked for some important companies in Spain before moving to Canada. He attended a shoe design school in Milan where he gained specialist
knowledge of the sector before launching his first collection in 2019.
ID-EIGHT - DONG SEON LEE / GIULIANA BORZILLO “Tea For Two”
Although both designers already had successful careers in their own countries – Dong in Korea and Germany, Giuliana in Italy – when they got engaged, they decided to join up professionally as well, founding the ID-EIGHT brand. The company is particularly attentive to waste and uses scrap material for the entire shoe collection. Apple peel,
pineapple leaves, recycled cotton and polyester are some of the materials that are used in the productive cycle of this brilliant footwear collection.
SALONE MONET – SALONE MONET “We Are The World”
After graduating in Washington, DC, Salone worked as a salesperson in a shoe shop while at the same time holding down a political PR job with the federal government. Subsequently she decided to enroll in a shoemaking school in Brooklyn with the aim of promoting racial equality in the sector. Her eponymous brand, based on the decision to produce “nude” shoes in various skin tones, has won her several awards and her shoes have adorned the feet of Beyonce Knowles, Gabrielle Union, Keke Palmer and many others.
FELIPE FIALLO - FELIPE FIALLO “The Future Today”
Born in Ecuador, in 2007 Felipe graduated with top marks in industrial design in Chile and found work immediately with leading companies. After a number of successes as a designer, he came to Italy where he was able to study and further develop his affinity for fashion designand luxury accessories. Specialising in digital design, his expertise has won him widespread recognition, and in 2022 the young awardwinning designer created his first collection of NFT sneakers in the Metaverse.
