New York recognition for Italian shoes

14/09/2009

Five Italian companies received recognition at this year’s New York Fashion Week. They won awards as part of the ‘Stepping out in Italian shoes’ competition, in which US shoe lovers nominate their favourite Italian brands.

A ceremony to honour the five winners was arranged for September 13. The winning companies are Giorgio Fabiani in the women’s contemporary category, Roberto Guerrini by Calzaturificio Mauron for men’s contemporary, Franceschetti for men’s designer, Claudia Ciuti for women’s designer and Casadei for innovative design.


“Despite the difficulties that our companies are encountering in the US market, we as an association have to maintain our commitment to the Italian footwear industry,” said director of the National Association of Italian Footwear Manufacturers (ANCI), Fabio Aromatici. “This award is an excellent image-boosting event that represents an opportunity for brands that are, perhaps, less well known in the US to be recognised.”
