Guava goes deep into the ethnic Masai mood for next SS15. The heel shapes remain colorful and aesthetic balancing the neutral and clean tones used to bring their shoes to life.

Ferragamo didn´t felt apart! He just reinvented the materials, using cellulose, and candy wraps and imagine…fishing nylon strap!!! Gorgeous! The first ever invisible shoes have born! Thus the cubic artistic wave wasn’t really successful despite all the publicity and innovative perspective of fashion. We were in 1947! Mindset was not prepared for such an avant gard piece!
Beth Levine, Nina and Neiman Marcus first, Charles Jourdan, Patrick Cox before, followed Ferragamo ideas, unsuccessfully…
We need to come back to the XXI Century to find out the invisible sneakers created by Jeremy Scott for Adidas. Those one’s were winners in 2011 fashion scene!
Now in 2014 trends are conducted by the audacious Portuguese footwear industry, producing themselves for the most important brands in the world at first, and emerging their own innovative brands! That is a fact!
Relyquia is one of those daring brands! In a CoxLab with the designer and artist Allister Lee, who already designed for Vans and Nike, they developed a invisible and transparent, urban sneaker, full on details but still raw in the materials used! Bingo! They nailed it again! With their capsule creations, lusty wooden personalized boxes…Can we ask for more?? Oh yeah!
But meanwhile, I can’t get those gorgeous invisible sneakers out of my head! Well done you guys!

Go on, pick the dictionary or the Wikipedia, and just find out the meaning: Relyquia, What it means? The brand uses three words to define themselves: Nature, Tresure & Soul.
We go further on this kind of definition, a relic is a tradition, that has survived from a period of time that no longer exist, which means a kind of past in the present times. Relyquia, binds together the word relic and reliquia, the combo between the portuguese and the english nouns.
From heels, to sneakers, a meticulous handwork produces unique shoes, a new kind of old luxury, from the ancient to the futurist vision of footwear.
Vá, peguem lá no dicionário, ou na versão portuguesa da Wikipedia, e pesquisem o significado! Mas vá lá, sem o Y, porque na nossa grafia e ortografia, não há espaço para o I grego. O que significa então Relyquia? Em nome próprio, a marca define-se como alma, natureza e tesouro. Três nomes, substantivos que bem se podem tornar adjectivos qualificativos da identidade da marca. Ora, uma reliquia, é um objecto que deve ser preservado para verneração (dizem uns), ou um objecto de um tempo passado, que permanece no presente, uma antiguidade… Para nós Relyquia combina o passado e o presente.
Dos saltos às sapatilhas ( ou ténis !), um trabalho artesanal meticuloso, um novo tipo de luxo. de uma visão do passado, para uma projeção do futuro do calçado.
