It was 1952 when the company Frau began its history in the shoemaking world. Today the brand celebrates its 65 years of activity and presents its Spring Summer 2018 collection with an eye to the sophistication of avant-garde styles.


The woman who chooses Frau is simple and has very classic tastes, she prefers a soft moccasin to a twelve heel, she is an eclectic woman and chooses comfort for every occasion. This is why Frau chooses to make even the most casual models more precious, always keeping pace with trends.

The sneakers become sparkling in shades of gold and silver, as if to remember the packaging of a chocolate bar, then passing through a romantic pink-candy, multicolor or floral; the touch of glamor is given by the satin laces, already the trend of last year. For the artist Runner a mix & match of leathers with different processes: from suede to coated, from mirrored to perforated and contrasting color combinations, black and neon pink. The sole is silk-screened with a Pollock effect.

The proposals in floral, brocade or satin fabric are an alternative with a refined allure. Who said that the dancers are the bon ton shoes par excellence? Frau revisits them for those who do not have time to stop even a second: a “runner” sole makes them more sporty and even more comfortable. The toe is squared like those for ballet and the uppers, embellished with bows or fringes, explore the shades of antique rose, on bright or suede skin. The ribbon for the ankle fastening is also inevitable here, as in the most classic of traditions.Frau Fall Spring Summer 2018You then move on to lace-ups and sabots that show off woven uppers, only in leather or leather and raffia, studded with glitter or in lurex fabric with sneakers, perforated or in classic black & white tones. Heel but never uncomfortable! As we have said, Frau does not want to get to the end of the day with aching feet, so the heels are low and very wide or alternate with raffia wedges. The sandals are minimal, decorated with classic fabric stripes, mostly monochromatic: white, black, red, light blue, silver. The only other detail is the ankle laces or the fringes that form a maxi pon pon.

To finish the spring summer collection, espadrilles could not be missing: in a sneaker-laced version or in the classic pastel shades. Along with the shoes the accessories most loved by women are the bags: made with exclusive and refined materials. Dominating the palette are the neutral colors gray, white, dusty blue, taupe and black, the hazard is in the details and processing of materials with python and iridescent effects, a contrast of different elements and styles, a perfect harmony of form and matter. The models are the classic shopper, the bucket and the clutches.

The sneakers are a hymn to classicism: super light sole with antigrip base and upper in technical fabric, a single piece that gives the wearer the feeling of maximum well-being and enveloping.
