Albertine: playing with footwear

There are all the makings of a really modern, up-to-the-minute project: the Albertine brand, created almost “for fun” by Alexandra Alberta Chiolo with the idea of selling it online, after just a couple of seasons will now be available in the shops as well.

The Albertine are interchangeable module-built shoes that can be transformed by substituting plateaus and heels in various heights, shapes and colours. A timely response to the current market’s loud demand for personalisation and individuality, particularly since this is an entirely Italian-made product, manufactured with top quality materials and meticulous attention to detailing.

“I have learned that Fashion is born out of rules and grows up not following them – Alexandra explains – to eventually become an expression of absolute freedom: a mix of nuances, tastes and sensations. Which is why I created a versatile shoe for everyday wear and that, every day, maintains its uniqueness”.

For the coming summer season, the key model is a Chanel in orange calfskin which can be combined with heels and plateaus in a number of lively colours.
