PhotoMILAN — Can a woman’s wardrobe make a statement while also providing a sense of shelter? Photo“I wanted to create shoes that women could wear and feel safe in for the mountains, say, but could also wear to fit in stylishly in a big city,” said Cesare Casadei, the brand’s creative director. “These are shoes that can help them stand their ground anywhere.”It was a mind-set similarly on display at two handbag brands. And at Jimmy Choo, the creative director Sandra Choi focused on house codes — and showed it all in a set decorated to look like a show home.
