PREMIATA - Walking in Your Footsteps

To be yourself and leave your own mark, that is the wish of Graziani Mazza, the avant-garde founder of the brandPremiatacreated in Italy in the 1990s.

The man claims absolute freedom in his creative process, giving free rein to a very fertile imagination, to which he blends the heritage of the Italian shoe tradition - several hundred years old, what he has learned from his peers and from leather work, and his love of the classics, which he twists with love. His stroke of genius is such that they are transformed into new classics in no time.

Graziani Mazza has taken on the pantheon of footwear, starting with the guardians of the temple, the unavoidable Oxfords. Classics among classics, redesigned identically but... without laces, they quickly went around the world to become, in turn, iconic pieces. This tour de force accomplished, he appropriated the waxed boots, patinated to the point of becoming mirrors, before launching into the creation of a range of sneakers: black, minimalist and just as surprising, like this studded pair with platform, intended for skateboarders.

Color, sophistication and experimentation are the keywords of the creationsPremiata. Mazza, for his latest collection, has worked on a new volume of sole associated with very bright colors, including for men. Never seen before, and a signature, once again, that responds to the designer's moto: listen to his intuitions.

From now on,Premiatais working on the realization of new leathers while training young apprentices, new blood faithful to the tradition of the purest Made In Italy.

The retro-futuristic shoes ofPremiataare now available at Leclaireur Boissy d'Anglas.
