The Stephane Kelian Spring/Summer 2010 collection is an act of defiance against the pervasive gloom, with its vibrant feminine
colours and some gorgeous sporty styling.
This collection features plenty of woven elements, with all-over weaves, small woven motifs, herringbone jacquard details, and jewelled braided cord.
The collection evokes a journey through Brazil, from the festive spirit of Rio de Janeiro, dancing to the rhythms of the samba, to running along the
beaches of Ipanema, or wandering around the futuristic architecture of Brasilia.
The tropical colours and natural wood finishes add to the celebratory mood. The finest quality materials are combined to perfection, whether patterned
or unadorned for a sleeker look :
Weave details paired with coloured velvet, coloured kid adorned with gold braid, soles in multicoloured herringbone weave, delicate gold or silver geometric motifs inlaid in velvet.
The snakeskin with a gold piping trim on evening shoes, derby shoes or sporty moccasins. The folksy weave details complement the smooth leather.
The heel and fit are designed for active wear : a revival based on the mythical CAP shoe. Declined with a wedge heel, with a weave motif and another model with the boat shoe spirit A “wengé” finish wedge sabot collection and leather-covered heel embodies the Kelian signature style.
