Mariano Shoes opened its doors to welcome Presley Oldham, a young designer from New York, elected by American Vogue as “emerging talent”.
APICCAPS – Portuguese Footwear, Components, Leather Goods Manufacturers’ Association - is a nation-wide association that represents, among others, the footwear industry, and saw an opportunity to draw attention to the portuguese footwear industry and encourage brands to look to the southwestern European.
Mariano Shoes was the right partner for this collab once craftsmanship was top one priority in Presley Oldham creations, and Mariano Shoes, as we know, combines the tradition of the handcraft with innovation, like this partnerships.
“That is something that I value in my day-to-day work, particularly with the show I’m producing. It’s using a lot of handcraft that’s a little bit lost in time and showing it in new ways.” he says.
