Movimenti Shoes Elegance and glamour, Meditation, physical and mental wellbeing: these are the sources of inspiration of the new SS 19 collection, expressed through a color palette able to positively influence the mood. The bohemian inspiration, full of retro stylistic cues winking at summer atmospheres and distant lands, is one of the most interesting features of the line.
Among the protagonists attending the latest edition of the Micam fair, Movimenti Shoes, based in Frattamaggiore (Naples), stood out, a historic brand for women’s footwear and more. The new models presented by the company focus on details and finishes. The production is marked by a touch of glamorous elegance highlighted by a sober and refined color palette. Great care has also been taken in the choice of materials and in the structure of heels and bottoms.
A collection able to combine femininity, refined design and comfort, perfect for all occasions. Movimenti Shoes was founded in 1978 by the forefather of the De Stefano family. The second generation has entered the company with his sons Rosario, Daniela, Luigi and Pina, each of whom follows a different division of the Neapolitan society. “We joined the company founded by my father right after graduating – explains Luigi De Stefano, who attended Micam with his sister Pina, in order to meet customers and launch the new collections –.
All our collections feature our identity, especially the winterly ones, which contribute predominantly to our turnover.” The items are signed by the well-known designer Pino Balladore, who has been designing the collections for the Neapolitan company for 25 years. Movimenti shoes are also sold abroad, particularly in Russia, Poland, Germany and France. The quality fits in the medium-high range.
“Our customers are fond of our style; quality and originality are the musts of every creation – continues Luigi De Stefano –. Our loyal customers are able to spot our items among many, this makes us very proud.” The search for authenticity, which is embodied in timeless accessories, drawings and prints, reveals a desire to stand out. This is one of the predominant themes of the successful brand: the shapes are essential, classic or reworked; the colors, instead, bright and lively.
The Neapolitan society is currently equipped with two workshops and employs 36 workers, plus the related industries. Movimenti Shoes is a piece of history of the Italian and Neapolitan shoe tradition: everything is strictly made in Italy, from the design up to the production. “You can’t stop staring at those expert hands, which transform living materials from simple pieces of leather to an object that will accompany you everywhere, in every single step of your days,” concludes De Stefano.
All the items are created with selected leathers, skillfully made by footwear artisans. The quality and the research, the manufacturing processes, the materials used are the secret of the De Stefano company. The production of Movimenti Shoes mainly features medium-high women’s footwear: flats, classic shoes, pumps, sandals, sneakers, ankle boots and boots. Special mention to the “100 passi” line, the only hand-painted and entirely made in Italy. dominga1978srl@libero.it
