Box office successes, Comic Cons, remakes… The beginning of the 21th century is all about the Marvel characters, DB, heroes and so on. A fantastic universe brought to life again in several remakes, from Superman, to Batman, Catwoman, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Spiderman…Name it all, they were remake or got a sequel. At a first glance it seems more a geeks issue, than a fashion issue, but it’s so not true.

Fashion gets motos everywhere. The creative work, nowadays very normative and constricted to a few trendsetters, can find fresh and geeky inspiration even in cartoons, and born glamorous and classy. Luis Buchinho presented in Paris is FW15 collection, very close to his usual approach. However we framed the gladiator shoes, more masculine than the gladiator sandals we pictured before. Portugal has a huge amount of manufacturers, and  it’s public that Buchinho changed his previous collaboration last season. We need to see the gladiator shoes live and backstage to evaluate details. Meanwhile, the visual appearance looks great. Who remember Shera, He-Man sister?  Close your eyes and Luis Buchinho POW…She appears tyled and wearing a full Buchinho look.

Since last FW13, he begun a coXLAB with a portuguese footwear manufacturer to produce shoes under his collection mood. That’s when the partnership between Buchinho and Helsar took part. This SS14 he continued to develop this concept and he nailed it!

The burgundy and black boots from FW13|14 gave place to imperial high heeled sandals, straight lined, building a continuous, keeping up the collection mood. Parallel lines, thin lines that embrace legs and feet, feminine, delicate painted in neutral tones : black, white & nude. 

Luis Buchinho highlighted how important was the attention to quality and details during all the creative process, combining the designer sketches and the manufacturer standards, giving birth to a glamorous shoe collection that completely fulfills the designer needs and expectations.
