Comfort and style are the quests in finding the perfect shoe for every day. Two quintessentially New Zealand brands may just have cracked that. Contemporary yet classic, iconic fashion designers Kate Sylvester and fashion-forward shoe brand Mi Piaci have joined design forces to create a capsule footwear collection for spring. Style director Louise Hilsz shares the small and perfectly formed range.

This new collab marks a 20-year birthday for the family-owned shoe brand Mia Piaci, the sister of Overland. ‘’With our design team and manufacturing resource, we were able to work closely to construct and amend lasts and design lines, to finely sculpt toe profiles and toplines to achieve the brief, says Colours, finishes and leathers were produced to ensure the styles represent a combined aesthetic for both brands and celebrate two crafts coming together in celebration of a new season.’’ Louise Anselmi, director and buyer at Mia Piaci.
