Coliac

Howdy! My favourite place in Poznan, Concept 21, is all steady-and-ready for autumn! New arrivals from Milan-based brands, N021 and Stella Jean, are all about warm sweaters, bold dresses and great denim. The hand-made shoes from Italy by Coliac are the must-haves of the season. And all of that is scented with niche fragrances from Meo Fusciuni, that are sold only in this place in Poland. However, I can’t forget about the absolutely ecological cosmetics from ILA SPA that keep our faces and bodies always clean and “pure”. I know this might sound as some kind of extreme favourism, but this is the best place (and at least concept store) in Poznan.

Martina Grasselli is the new-comer star of Italian shoes industry – after her latest AW15 presentation, I am in love. Her signature “rings” and “piercing” footwear is mind-blowing and feel truly unique. She has worked with Stella McCartney, Angelo Figus, Breil Milano, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Christian Louboutin, creating collections of accessories, offering her input both in terms of style and in terms of products. COLIAC, her brand, was founded in 2009 – it is a modern fuse of costume jewellery and tomboy-like shoes. It is characterised by an ironic tone with a hint of the surreal, artsy edge, making the shoes strongly recognizable not only in Milan, but also in other fashion capitals. Which ones do you fancy the most?
