Rene Caovilla steps into the new season with a collection that feels both grounded and elevated, where the elemental beauty of the Earth is distilled into sculptural forms and warm, tactile tones. The Pre-Fall/Winter 2025 range embraces a rich, earthy palette—rust, ochre, brown, and desert sand—each shade capturing the quiet luxury of nature’s own design. This is a collection that celebrates materiality, light, and sensuality with the precision and artistry for which the Venetian Maison is revered.
At its core is a masterful interplay of tradition and modernity. The Braid Cleo sandal embodies this balance, marrying the house’s iconic serpent motif with an intricate braided detail, now softened in serene white and dove grey. It is a style that whispers sophistication while retaining the magnetic allure of Caovilla’s heritage.
Texture and embellishment take centre stage in the Onda pump, rendered in plush black velvet. Its sensuous wavy trim, edged in light-catching crystals, curves around the foot like liquid shadow, rising to a confident 100mm heel. In contrast, the Audrey style speaks in a bolder voice—its wide strap a statement of modern femininity—available in the opulence of burgundy velvet or the drama of full black-crystal adornment. The Cleo pump injects a flash of intensity into the season, its sharply pointed silhouette and vivid red hue heightened by a cascade of hand-applied crystals, each glinting along the Maison’s signature serpent heel.
For those drawn to iconic glamour, the Chandelier sandal returns, this time in deep rust and radiant gold—a study in light and depth. The timeless Cleo also reappears, this season swathed in black velvet, royal blue, or strewn with tiny crystal stars, evoking a night sky captured underfoot. The collection’s most poetic moment arrives in the Peach Flower sandal, where embroidered tulle blooms unfurl among delicate crystals, offered in ivory, burgundy, or dark brown on stiletto heels of either 105mm or 80mm.
Rene Caovilla’s Pre-Fall/Winter 2025 collection is more than footwear—it is a tactile journey through earth, light, and artistry. Every pair is an invitation to step into a world where craftsmanship becomes sensual expression, and elegance is not shouted but quietly, unmistakably felt. Now available in boutiques and at renecaovilla.com, this is a season for those who understand that the most powerful statements are made in the details.
Rene Caovilla’s artistic direction this season feels deeply attuned to the rhythm of the natural world. The collection’s warm palette mirrors the shifting tones of autumn light, while its materials—sumptuous velvets, delicate tulles, and precise crystal work—invite touch as much as they draw the eye. Each piece carries a quiet sense of permanence, the kind of design that transcends fleeting trends and instead becomes a treasured part of a wardrobe’s narrative. It is a reminder that true luxury lies not in abundance, but in the refinement of each detail.
There is also a sense of movement woven through the collection. From the serpent’s coiling form to the fluid wave of the Onda pump, each silhouette feels alive, as if in dialogue with the wearer. This dynamism makes the shoes not just beautiful objects, but companions to the moments they inhabit—be it the intimate glow of an evening gathering or the poised confidence of a formal affair. In Pre-Fall/Winter 2025, Rene Caovilla captures the rare alchemy where art, nature, and femininity meet, offering designs that will not simply be worn, but experienced.
