Santoni man, soft handmade elegance
Soft elegance in a dreamlike context that enhances its uniqueness. The handmade is expression of imagination created through the combination of tradition and innovation. Santoni Spring/Summer 2016 collection is the result of an aesthetic and artisanal research involved in a constant evolution. It outlines the image of a man that is out of the ordinary and travels with the same nonchalance through different worlds and styles. The unifying element is the taste for an evident persistent manual dexterity, with no ostentation. Santoni shoes are precious objects, without preciosity. This season forms get shorter and elongated, creating new balances. The detail of vamps closed by double buckle persists: the classic double monk strap in precious surreal nuances, the loafer in woven-python or suede, or the leather sandals.
The cuts expose the foot and redesign silhouettes: seamless with sharp profiles. Island soles and hand-stitched opanka give a new look to laced shoes, while bicolor shoes evoke a contemporary d’antan elegance. Softness is present everywhere. Graphic unlined sneakers have an allure decontracté also present in bags: business bags and briefcases entirely destructured.
