Within the Bologna Trade Fair the Footwear industry always got the spotlight thanks to high end producers such as Vaccari, Saguatti, Romagnoli, Magli and Bruno Cavalli, to name just a few. And then, all of a sudden, everything disappeared. That’s why we consider nothing short of a miracle the surfacing of this dusty catalog in a flea market somewhere. No names mentioned - besides local politicians and visiting ministers, but still worth the price of admission.
Go here for a closer look of the exhibited models.
