CASADEI X HOUSE OF GILLES: BESPOKE ELEGANCE FOR THE PERFECT DAY

Casadei and House of Gilles are thrilled to announce a couture bridal footwear collaboration in an exciting partnership that celebrates bespoke and timeless elegance. This exclusive collection marries the ethereal quality of House of Gilles’ couture bridal ethos with the iconic silhouettes of Casadei, offering brides an unparalleled blend of romance, modernity, and refinement.

Born from a shared desire to create something truly exceptional, the collaboration draws inspiration from the House of Gilles Bridal 2025 Collection. Meticulously crafted within the brand’s atelier, the shoes feature intricate details that echo the delicate artistry of House of Gilles’ gowns — from duchesse satin pleating and molded botanical appliqués to lace adorned with crystal embroideries. These elements have been carefully integrated into Casadei's signature styles, resulting in a bridal shoe that embodies both contemporary beauty and romantic charm.

“Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we create at Casadei. When I design bridal shoes, I want each woman to be able to choose, on her special day, the model that most reflects her and makes her feel unique,” said Creative Director, Cesare Casadei. Co-Founder and Creative Director of House of Gilles, added, “This collection with Casadei represents a perfect marriage of both brands' dedication to heritage and craftsmanship. Each shoe embodies our couture ethos — a celebration of classic, timeless elegance and romance.”

The collaboration goes beyond simply pairing a dress with a shoe; it is about creating a harmonious and complete bridal look that tells a story of individuality and sophistication.

The Casadei x House of Gilles collection embodies the perfect union of elegance and femininity, delivering footwear that not only complements but enhances the bridal experience.

Crafted with an attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to quality, the collection offers a new chapter for modern brides who seek something distinctive and extraordinary. Whether walking down the aisle or dancing the night away, these shoes are designed to elevate every moment with a refined, thoughtful approach to bridal style.

CASADEI AUTUMN/WINTER 2025 COLLECTION: “LA DONNA FARFALLA’

Cesare Casadei looks to the future with the brand’s highly anticipated Autumn/Winter 2025 collection. Drawing inspiration from his favourite cultural moments in history, Casadei masterfully captures the essence of these eras, reinterpreting them with a contemporary aesthetic that meets the evolving needs of modern women.

The collection is infused with the energy and confidence of free spirited women of the past, yet, rather than drawing from any single era, Casadei seamlessly intertwines elements from each, creating a modern aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

At the heart of the collection is the Donna Farfalla, a concept that embodies the strength, versatility, and determination of women everywhere. Casadei champions women, their strength and their unlocked potential by exploring the power of lived experiences, resilience, and the soul of femininity in every design. These pieces empower women to take center stage in every aspect of their lives by blending heritage with cutting-edge craftsmanship. The collection features striking leopard print and mirrored leather, textured faux fur and a sophisticated palette of brown, burgundy, and duck egg blue - each piece designed to exude confidence and elegance.

As Casadei’s footwear offerings continue to evolve, so does the increasing presence of bags, which take on a prominent role in this collection. Every piece is meticulously designed, balancing aesthetics and functionality, and showcasing exquisite artisan details.

The Casadei Autumn/Winter 2025 Collection is a bold fusion of past and future, tradition and innovation, elegance and power - each piece crafted to celebrate the strength and individuality of every woman.

HIGH WINTER CAPSULE

Casadei launches its High Winter capsule collection for winter 2024. An exclusive collection marked by stylishness, comfort and refinement, commending the savoir-faire of Italian craftsmen. In synthetic fur, this capsule collection stands out for its variety: from the Polar boot in two colour versions (black and white, earthy Sienna and soft Minou pink), embellished with the iconic C-chain logo set into the fur, and fitted with a rubber sole for strong grip; to the Campiglio mule in faux fur, decorated with the C-chain logo and a chic rhinestone band. A cornerstone of the collection is the Ortisei double-face boot, decorated with rhinestones and complete with rubber sole, ideal to tackle cold winter weather with style. To finish off your winter look, the Ortisei bags are perfect accessories. Available in different sizes and made in synthetic fur, these minimalist designer bags come with a leather handle and stand out with their iconic C-chain logo in ton sur ton leather. Finally, for evening events, the Blade Ortisei clutch bag in synthetic fur can be worn as a shoulder bag or carried by hand, thanks to the C-chain logo in high relief, which ensures a firm grip.

CASADEI X VOGUE

During Milan Fashion Week, Casadei decided to celebrate the launch of its new Spring/Summer 2025 collection with a cocktail party alongside its community. The event was named “Casadei Lovers,” a club dedicated to the new generation of trendsetters. These are the people who gathered on September 21st at the central Milan showroom, not only to celebrate the new collection but also to honor the creative spirit that has been at the heart of the brand for over sixty years. A concept dear to Vogue Italia, which is celebrating its own 60th anniversary during these days. Rooms filled with mirror play and reflections, Martini-designed furniture, and finally leading to the terrace, where Demetra and Bianca, two incredible DJs, awaited, while a steady stream of people danced on the floor. Others, standing in their heels, gathered in a corner, sharing stories of holidays, parties they attended, and kisses they exchanged. Read the full article on Vogue Italia.
