Milan, July 2025 – Rene Caovilla, the Venetian luxury shoemaker revered for its exquisite craftsmanship and storied couture collaborations, returns to the Parisian spotlight this haute couture week with the unveiling of The Jungle Couture—a made-to-order collection that celebrates the brand’s deep roots in fashion history while embracing a wilder, expressive vision of femininity.
Long known for crafting showstopping footwear for couture houses such as Valentino, Chanel, and Dior—each partnership spanning decades of creative alliance—Rene Caovilla now takes centre stage with a collection that unites two contrasting forces: the discipline of couture and the instinctual beauty of the natural world. The result is a provocative, intensely detailed collection that vibrates with fuchsia hues and animalistic intensity.
Among the five standout designs, two creations are nothing short of artistic feats. The first, a sheer tulle boot embroidered with more than 1,400 delicate flowers and butterflies, required approximately 120 hours of meticulous handwork. The second—a 105mm heeled ankle boot—features over 8,000 glistening crystals set into fuchsia tulle, an audacious play on transparency and sparkle that evokes both delicacy and daring. Together, they represent the apogee of the Maison’s technical virtuosity and daring creativity.
Three additional silhouettes—offered exclusively by order either in-store or through Rene Caovilla’s digital platforms—complete the collection. The Jungle pump and slingback emerge in vivid fuchsia satin and tulle, each accented with over 150 crystals in intricate, jungle-inspired motifs. Meanwhile, the Jungle SuperCleo sandal, a couture evolution of one of Caovilla’s most iconic styles, is reimagined with theatrical appliqués that evoke untamed flora and primal glamour.
All styles in The Jungle Couture are handcrafted in Italy at the Rene Caovilla atelier, ensuring every detail reflects the Maison’s unwavering dedication to artistry, elegance, and precision. This collection isn’t just footwear—it is couture made wearable, a poetic clash between modern opulence and raw wilderness.
Available only during Paris Haute Couture Week, The Jungle Couture will be presented exclusively at the Rene Caovilla boutique in Paris. Each piece is a testament to the Maison’s past and a bold gesture toward a more audacious future in luxury design.
Rene Caovilla’s return to the couture calendar with The Jungle Couture signals more than just a seasonal collection—it marks a reaffirmation of the brand’s ability to channel historical elegance into futuristic expression. By infusing the precision of haute couture with untamed motifs and materials, Caovilla bridges the gap between traditional artistry and boundary-pushing fashion. Each piece tells a story of duality: control and chaos, delicacy and power, tradition and rebellion.
Fuchsia, the chosen colour palette of the collection, takes on symbolic resonance throughout. In the Maison’s hands, it is no longer merely vibrant—it becomes a statement of bold femininity, wild allure, and seductive confidence. Whether adorning a delicately embroidered boot or accentuating the curves of the Jungle SuperCleo sandal, this vivid shade becomes the connective tissue that unifies the collection’s vision, weaving together nature’s unruliness with couture’s formality.
