Kitten heels and pastel hues in footwear; capacious silhouettes and unexpected tweaks in bags; graphic boldness in eyewear, and a side of sustainable collaborations: the accessories scene on and off the runway was all about elevating daywear.
"Comfort and functionality, but never without a touch of eccentricity."

Comfort and functionality, but never without a touch of eccentricity: this has always been Serge Ruffieux’ recipe for the brand he launched with Emilie Faure in 2021, when he also took the helm of the shoe category at Emilio Pucci under the creative direction of Camille Miceli.
For spring 2024, Ruffieux added new styles inspired by the seabed for his eclectic collection of crafty flats developed using deadstock fabrics and leathers, ribbons and crystals. Cue pointy ballerina flats crafted in leather embossed with python and croco effects to evoke scales, in coral shades or hologram hues. The designer — who wrapped a three-season stint as creative director of Carven in 2018 — also offered designs with studs and leather harnesses; reworked his distinctive fringed moccasins with straps and buckles, and introduced python-like boots featuring the brand’s signature Egg heel.
