Paris and New York. In recent weeks, Portuguese shoes have been seen on the world’s most important fashion catwalks.
"Through the Bioshoes4all project, several footwear brands have teamed up with renowned international designers to develop creative partnerships that we hope will be long-lasting”, said Paulo Gonçalves.
"In practice, if the Portuguese footwear industry has the accumulated know-how and installed capacity to respond to the demands of international markets, young designers have a fresh and renewed vision of the market”, which traditionally "brings benefits to all partners involved”.
This year’s campaign kicked off in Paris with the presentation of Bianca Saunders’ second collection with Valuni, which explores the concept of parallels - a recurring theme in the designer’s work.
Entitled ‘Dichotomy’, Saunders explores the interaction between movement and restriction, two opposing forces that create something entirely new when combined.
Following last season’s collaboration, Saunders has once again teamed up with Valuni. The collection includes classic high-top boots inspired by equestrian styles, fringed loafers revisited from the first collaboration, and square-toed shoes in pastel colours with laces all the way up.
