Spring/Summer 2024: Trends for footwear and leather goods
And if the phygital world shifts weight toward a more physical presence, technology continues to advance, opening the way for designers to explore new techniques in a 4.0 creativity perspective.
Let us not forget the new geopolitical dynamics that have changed attitudes, values and priorities. ‘Surfing’ represents the most up-to-date mood mixing the spirit of adventure, freedom of movement, challenge, exploration and technical innovation. Design, materials, shapes, volumes and colors of footwear and leather goods for the upcoming spring/summer 2024 are influenced by this trend that relies on imaginative materials, very sinuous shapes, metallic surfaces, and the upcycling of organic materials. Adventure and technique also collide in color palettes that contrast and overlap.
Soles and heels: there is no getting away from sustainability
By now it is clear and obvious, the world of footwear structures can no longer ignore the issues of sustainability, the constant and incremental search for new materials, whether they are of organic or recycled origin. Almost all of the innovative designs proposed for the upcoming fall winter 2023/24 have emphasized environmental friendliness.
If we look at the aesthetic themes emphasized, thick and important bottoms designed specially to accompany the new wave of boots that will undoubtedly invade future winter storefronts jump out at us.
But the theme of the height of the bottoms and their solid and massive appearance remains well anchored even in the low models, whether sneakers or loafers. Colors and graphics, a theme usually unaccustomed for the cold months, are instead making their way into the 2023s.
Beware the graphics are also going to invade the territories of elegance, which is unlikely to be expressed in minimalist tones.
LINEAPELLE: Fall Winter 2023/24, creativity, impeccable technical quality and, of course, sustainability are back
The fall winter 2023/24 season will be characterized by the spasmodic search for “Possible Worlds looking for other stories, stories that we have never heard and told, through knowledge, relationships, thoughts and words that we have not yet found or for some reason discarded.”
ArsTannery #06/2022: Focus on technological innovations
This issue is dedicated to Simac Tanning Tech 2022 with a full-bodied report of the innovations presented at the world’s most important leather area technology fair by the best companies in the mechano-tanning industry. Machine manufacturers’ attention is focused on improving environmental performance with solutions that enable the reduction of water, energy and chemical consumption while lowering waste production and emissions of all kind.
Simac Tanning Tech: Innovations and research are the development directions seen at the September 2022 edition
In this issue of Arsutoria we have tried to measure the type of technological innovations, for the footwear and leather goods worlds, proposed and introduced by industry players during Simac Tanning Tech 2022, the most important international event dedicated to the topic.
The bags for SS23: nature and buckets, retro style and design objects
The last edition of Mipel, held in September 2023, unveiled the trends for the next spring/summer 2023.
The bags will be marked by rustic atmosphere and retro style, defined by the overbearing return of the bucket bag, but also by the contrast between the functionality of the much-loved backpacks and the aesthetics of bags as design objects.
Workplace safety always crucial
The focus on workspace safety is growing more and more and so is the global industrial safety footwear market (+2,5% for the next eight years).
Colour, the Seventies and thick design: it’s the next SS 2023 seen at Micam Milano
Gathered under the hashtag #finallytogether, the trade fairs returned – literally – to colour Rho Fieramilano. Amidst 70s atmospheres, pronounced soles and a return to elegant models, colour was indeed the real protagonist of the footwear collections presented at Micam Milano.
