After working 15 years designing shoes for Antonio Berardi, Elie Saab, and Sergio Rossi, Florence-based designer Matteo Mars launched his eponymous footwear label in 2017. You can now find his heels and sandals at Net-A-Porter.
Describing his shoes as “ultra feminine modern works of arts”, Matteo’s dynamic and inventive style is unlike anything we’ve seen before. The debut footwear collection features sculptural silhouettes and statement heels that make every pair feel entirely unique.
Below are some of Matteo Mars’ best sandals and pumps:
Naked Ala two-tone patent-leather slingback pumps, $690 at Net-A-Porter
These red and black patent-leather pumps have been made in Florence. They’re designed with elasticated slingback straps and striking degradé heels.
Naked Ala patent-leather slingback pumps, $690
These black patent-leather pumps are cut in the label’s signature d’Orsay silhouette inspired by architecture. They’re set on cool dégradé heels and have elasticated slingback straps.
Graffio leather slingback sandals, $690
These smooth black leather sandals rest on a purple and black 90mm heel.
Stocking Ala suede and patent-leather over-the-knee boots, $1,595
Looking like pumps paired with socks at first glance because they fit so well, this over-the-knee pair is cut from suede and patent-leather, and set on the collection’s signature dégradé heels.
