The Santoni world, in its entirety, is defined by the quest for beauty. Shaped by palpable craftsmanship, materials speak by means of color, and color gives consistency to shapes.

In the women’s FW 20-21 collection these values are interpreted through silhouettes that glance at the world of men while softening it. The apparent rigor activates a game of subtle seduction that leaves room for more openly and elegantly sensual variations.

Vibrant shades – yellow, peach, fuchsia – in iridescent and dense patinas characterize the loafers, the lace-ups, the hand-polished calfskin Chelsea boots, as well as the college loafers and the commando-soled styles with a metropolitan appeal. Even the mountain boots with rubber soles get the intense color treatment – emerald green, leather yellow – while the equestrian boots in classic brown and dark brown gain couture grace in the detail of the knot and in the choice of dense satin mixed with leather. The double buckle which is a Santoni signature recurs as a sign on understated models of absolute versatility, from ankle boots to heeled booties, from slippers to knee-high boots, in a classic palette of black, burgundy, dark emerald green. If the multi-material sneakers express the most active soul of the brand, the more seductive one characterizes the styles with a tapered design and a square toe, with the voluptuous touch of the corset lacing, in lingerie nuances such as black and pearl gray. More square toes for the elegant models of architectural design: boots, ankle boots and loafers in off white nappa, black leather painted in a lizard effect, and in the precious tartan edition.

This season the collection is presented to the public through the CHECKMATE installation that unveils the concept of the new Santoni pop-ups. Playing with the scale of the objects as to create displacement, spectators will walk on large chessboards, among gigantic knights, pawns and queens in the vibrant sfumato shades of the collection. The Santoni values become a playful and surprising experience within an environment permeated by color.
