Scarosso, the renowned purveyor of fine Italian footwear, has proudly announced its collaboration with the multi-talented explorer, author, and tastemaker, Matt Hranek. This collaboration is poised to redefine elegance and versatility with a collection of Venetian slippers, also known as Friulane slippers.
To celebrate this exciting collaboration, Scarosso and Matt Hranek unveiled the collection at the iconic Bar Basso in Milan during Design Week. As the birthplace of the Negroni Sbagliato – a drink synonymous with Italian sophistication and conviviality – Bar Basso provides the perfect backdrop for this fusion of tradition and innovation.
Inspired by the timeless allure of Friulane slippers, Matt Hranek brings his unique vision to the table, infusing these classic shoes with a contemporary twist. Recognizing their inherent ease and versatility, Matt was captivated by the idea of expanding their color palette, Transforming them into a wardrobe staple suitable for any occasion – from a leisurely day by the pool to a formal evening affair, or simply for stepping down to have your breakfast or walking the dog – these versatile slippers seamlessly blend style with practicality.
The collection consists of five different variations of colors, each adorned with contrast or ton su ton velvet and grosgrain, adding an extra touch of elegance and individuality. One standout piece is the total black Friulane slipper featuring the iconic Wm Brown target logo, a nod to Matt Hranek's illustrious career as the founder and editor of WM Brown Magazine.
