Bionda Castana SS13 Collection

Bionda Castana Spring Summer 2013 campaign imagesLuxury footwear brand Bionda Castana launch stunning Spring Summer 13 collection.

Launching back in 2007, luxury shoe brand Bionda Castana has gained a loyal following with everyone from Kate Moss to Chloë Sevigny doning the fancy foot work. The British brand’s SS13 collection has just been revealed and it’s one of their strongest to date.

Last season’s woven Bionda Castana cutout ankle boots are back for Spring Summer, this season in midnight blue, pastel blue, and pistachio. Blue is without a doubt the shade of the season and these crepe satin shoes are top of our wish list. Wear now with tapered trousers and come spring, they’ll add toughness to pretty dresses and skirts.

The only downfall to the SS13 Bionda Castana collection is that we’re itching to wear it now. The thought of ditching the 60 deniers and slipping your feet into some summer sandals is daunting, but invest now and come spring you’ll have the best dressed feet in town.

Highlights of the sandal-strong collection are the 60s minimalist inspired Elisabetta sandals in nude and white calf leather. They are the outcome of the second collaboration between Bionda Castana and Italian womenswear designer Gabriele Colangelo. Simple, chic and with go-with-everything attitude; they’re a Spring Summer investment buy.

The Lucinda courts are perfect if you simply can’t wait for warmer climates to arrive. With a monochrome satin detailing and black raffia toe they can be worn now with black tights and a pencil skirt, or a simple white sundress come summer.

As well as the statement shoes, the SS13 collection has some great sensible options to. From holiday worthy wedges to suede slippers and flat sandals; the collection covers a multitude of shoe must-haves.

The SS13 range is showcased beautifully in a campaign shot by photographer Aaron Tilley. The artistic ad campaign pairs the shoes against graphic backgrounds, giant chess pieces and iconic Ercol furniture. The outcome is beautiful with touches of voyeurism and a filmic feel. A stunning campaign for an equally as stunning collection.
