tep into a new era with Malone Souliers' Pre-AW24 collection, where Italian architecture meets modern sophistication. Against the backdrop of a Milanese apartment, immerse yourself in a new season collection of artfully crafted shoes and bags.
This season, our Co-Creative Directors, Coco Fong and Valerio Bava, took inspiration from the golden era of mid-century Italian architecture. They looked to the radical influence of the era’s iconic architects and industrial designers, who moved beyond traditional materials to experiment with the unconventional. The rawness and texture of materials like wood, stone and glass inform both the fabrics and colour palette of our new collection.
For Malone Souliers, each trip to Italy is a design pilgrimage. We're captivated by the cascading marble staircases, the labyrinthine streets made of stone slabs and the graceful lines of its traditional furniture. Described by our Co-Creative Director, Coco Fong, “This campaign is our love letter to Italian craft and design, which we have long deeply admired; it has always been a huge inspiration behind our design ethos. The collection feels especially personal to us this time, and we wanted to portray this feeling in the campaign.”
IN THE DETAILS
Unveiling the latest collection, the day-to-night Cristi mules, rendered in croc-embossed or glossy patent leather with semi-sheer mesh details, while the Julia sandals – a perfect between-season choice – crafted from bi-colour raffia, echo the mood of the season. A comfortable yet minimal style for office days and after-dark adventures is the Hayes pump, available in both a flat and block-heeled version, embellished with our signature statement crest to complement the Vittoria which has been introduced specially for the season. The soft and tactile clutch is constructed from hand-draped satin and velvet for an interesting play on proportions and silhouette.
Iconic Italian furniture design informs the clean lines of the Yola mules and the streamlined silhouette of the Yuna sandals, both defined by delicate straps, clever cut-out detailing and a flared 90mm stiletto heel. For a modern metallic moment, pair Yuna with the Vivien clutch or Audrey handbag in silver mirror leather, promising a look that glistens under moonlight. Another elegant evening option is the timeless Mona, a party slipper adorned with a statement crest featuring embedded crystals. Set on a straight 70mm stiletto heel, it is available in black, mauve, and white satin, making it a stylish choice for the modern bride.
