2011/2012 Fall-Winter Collection "seduction to wear".

Ballin shoe factory features the new 2011/2012 Fall-Winter collection: a seductive and extremely feminine collection which seeks to stand out thanks to a perfect mix of avant-garde and craftsmanship production, complying to the severe ruling principles of Made In Italy manufacturing.

Elegance and sensuality mark the identity of a brand which in its 70 year-long history has succeeded in combining quality, tradition, craftsmanship but most of all innovation thanks to the strong creative flair of Roberto Barina, Creative Director of the Ballin Collection. The careful examination of current trends and the ability to anticipate fashions, interpreting the tastes of the feminine universe – surely a demanding audience in terms of style and quality- are expressed through fascinating and intriguing collections.

Charm emerges within the 11/12 Fall-Winter collection, a recollection to past times. The models present a strong inspiration to the USA, where a dualism from two different historical periods marking this country emerges: the end of the 19th century "Far West", whose style was characterised by the use of leather, fur and sheepskin and the '50s, where elegance and bon ton marked the style of that decade.
It's thanks to this special dualism that the collection sees the entrance of boots and ankle boots, big in their wild-looking shapes, embellished by the best quality luxury materials: leather, cashmere, suede, sheepskin and velvet. The final result is made contemporary thanks to continuous innovation and a close look on the current trends. Colours are warm and range in the natural tones of brown and beige.
The Fifties inspiration is present in offers where never excessive sensuality joins the brand's typical charm and elegance. Heels are average height (5-6 cm), embellished by special decorations and the shoes' shapes stand out for their light tips and straps winding the heel, a strong reference to the typical bon ton elegance of the past. The wise use of macramé lace, pins, ribbons and rétro details make the models modern. The colour palette obviously includes powder and natural hues to reconfirm the sobriety and elegance of the collection.
