What makes Italian leather so special? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The history of Italian fashion <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Italian fashion was at its height in Renaissance Florence, before fashion started to follow trends set by the French court. It wasn\u2019t until the famous \u2018Sala Bianca\u2019 show at the Palazzo Pitti in 1951, that Italy got back onto the fashion map. The explosion of luxury ready-to-wear brands \u2013 Armani, Versace, Dolce and Gabbana, Fendi, Prada, Roberto Cavalli and Gucci \u2013 has since changed the face of fashion. And Italian craft is still ahead of the trend. Italian brand Iovado <\/u><\/a>created the first 3D-scanned handcrafted Italian leather shoe, to fit the exact shape of your foot.
