Even shoes are bejewelled. Of course this is nothing new; look at the famous Venetian Caovilla, jewels of the footwear world, featuring the Swarovski dusted soles that are the brand’s trademark, or the jewelled buckles on Roger Vivier’s square-toed pumps. The combination of jewels and men’s classic oxfords in midnight blue, black and white eco-leather, is however, quite unusual.
Their lines are aggressive, with colourful rubber soles resembling tank wheels, and patterned, marbled, polka dot uppers and embroidered inserts. The oxfords flaunt showy ornaments: laces are replaced with pearl or zirconia piercings, or gold gypsy rings. Coliac’s original collection plays with masculine lines and feminine vanity, and the shoes are ideal subjects for daring aesthetic experiments.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
