The Donna collection: Elegance and easy-wear for women
A stylish pump allows you to go from day to night effortlessly. The Giselda features the added comfort of a breathable and waterproof sole, which allows moisture to escape to prevent sweaty feet.
Giselda heels in nude black, $350
This sophisticated option comes in sumptuous suede or hammered leather, available in both shiny and matte finishes, and offers a choice between a flared block heel or a more traditional slender design.
If you eschew heels, refined loafers such as the Ilde, Spherica EC1 or Kosmopolis will elevate your look, whether you’re aiming for casual chic or upscale sophistication.

Chic sneakers for the on-the-go urbanite
Today’s elegant crop of sneakers are as suitable for dashing around the CBD as they are for casual outings. GEOX’s innovative designs mix leather, canvas and crochetwork, with vibrant patchworks of nubuck and leather, catering to athleisure styles.
The men’s Spherica Ecub-1 sneakers, at $390, are available in six colourways: white (pictured), light sand, military, rock, navy and black
The sneakers provide excellent cushioning and breathability, especially the brand’s popular Spherica styles. This carefully designed collection strikes a balance of comfort and lightness, making it ideal for anything from attending events in the city to running errands.
GEOX is also launching sustainable versions of its signature Nebula and Spherica shoes, made from recycled hi-tech fabrics with luxurious touches of leather and suede. They’re enhanced with the Zero Shock System that absorbs jolts and knocks, distributing the impact evenly throughout the foot; while the +Grip soles provide greater stability.
The sneakers come in pretty pastel shades for women, while the men’s line is inspired by summery bright blues and whites. This makes it easy to do a little couples’ dressing without appearing overly matchy. How’s that for a great way to dress for summer?
