Andrea Mondin

Founder - ANDREA MONDIN S.r.l.// Consultant Luxury Footwear Designer
About

Passion and dedication to the anatomy of luxury shoes. The understanding and intuition of authentic Italian craftsmanship take many years of careful labor, from working with long-established Maison to working hand in hand with the most important Italian factories. The anatomy of a luxury shoe begins much earlier than the production stage, or even the design of a shoe, it begins with love and infatuation with the aesthetic. This is the core value that has pursued Andrea Mondin through his journey of transforming and adapting an approach to new brands, developing new trends and styles into a distinctive branding idea, and adapting each time to the demands of the client and company. An extensive commitment to brand management has also led Andrea Mondin to showcase the talent of a team and to focus on bringing the best out of people, building up his own sensitive and empathic nature in the process.
