First of all, let me tell you a little more about ECCO, as I am not sure everyone knows a whole lot about the brand. It was founded in Denmark 5 decades ago. It is one of the only shoe manufacturers of its caliber to manage the entire production chain from production of leather up to their own shops located in 87 countries around the world. ECCO shoes are created based on the Scandinavian design philosophy “The shoe must follow the foot” and, therefore, combine comfort and functionality to fashion. The representative I spoke to also shared that Louis Vuitton uses some of ECCO’s workshops to work leather for their products, which is a sign of their high quality standards.
So as part of the BrillxMtl event at Hotel Le Crystal, I was introduced to this brand I was not so familiar with and I wanted to share my perceptions and understanding of it and its next season’s collection. If you scroll through the pictures, you’ll notice the generally thick sole which increases comfort and that’s what I would picture myself wearing when I travel or when I plan on walking all day. As much as I like heels, I love my feet and I love me some good cute comfy shoes for those kind of days. The Spring/Summer 2015 collection emphasizes on neutrals and pastels on stylish moccasins, wedges, sandals and elegant sport shoes (great with a suit à la Cara Delevigne or with your fave pair of jeans). My favourite pieces of the collection are indisputably, the white little envelope bag and the white sandals.
Accessories such as shoulder bags, totes, clutches and wallets offer elegance and intelligent designs to keep your items well organized and can be a great match with casual and formal wear.
