At the Baldinini Fall/Winter 2025 presentation during MFW, held at the brand’s brand-new Milan showroom, heritage craftsmanship met bold innovation in a truly elegant display.
This event wasn’t just a seasonal showcase—it was a celebration of Baldinini’s long-standing excellence in Italian footwear, bridging the past with a forward-thinking approach to contemporary style.
Founded in 1910 in San Mauro Pascoli, a region known as a hub of artisanal shoemaking, Baldinini began as a small workshop crafting custom-made shoes by hand. Over the decades, the company has grown into a global symbol of “Made in Italy” excellence, while preserving the integrity of traditional craftsmanship.
Even today, many elements like stitching, perforations, profiles, and inserts are completed by hand, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to artisanal quality and aesthetic precision.
One of the stars of the collection is the “10:10” shoe—a sophisticated style inspired by an Art Deco jewel and named in honor of Baldinini’s founding date (10:10, October 10, 1910). Elegantly adorned with rhinestones or gold, this style is the epitome of refined evening footwear.
Equally captivating were the Triade and the updated Colonna silhouettes, which show how Baldinini seamlessly reinterprets classic forms with modern allure.
The event also offered a rare opportunity to view a curated selection of archival footwear pieces, some dating back to the 1980s and 1990s. These iconic styles still feel as fresh and relevant today, underscoring the brand’s timeless design sensibility.
With the new FW25 collection, Baldinini masterfully blends its storied legacy with contemporary elegance, presenting a vision for the future that remains deeply rooted in its artisanal DNA.
