Casadei Has A Delicious Capsule Strawberry Collection With Alessandro Enriquez For Summer 2026
Plus, their iconic Blade shoe makes a return
During Milan Fashion Week, Casadei held a presentation on their rooftop terrace, showcasing their new collection. The Theme: The Blade and Beyond- Icons Reimagined. The collection pays homage to women, and their strength, their beauty, and their intentionality.
When walking in, guests were met with the Blade shoe, the brand’s iconic architectural heel, featured in metallic and solar tones. The Blade Victory’s double T-bar in open and close toe styles stand out, while the Superblade Sharp that was unveiled during the Cannes Film Festival is all red-carpet glamor.
For the spring-summer 2026 season, Casadei features the Andromeda straps, the Samurai Red is that spark of fiery red, and Venus with its lavender and citine satin cone heel adds stability and modernity to summer glam. Another summer shoe is the Futura in 3D, a capsule collection of comfy-ness crafted the Casadei’s technical abilities. Coming in various colors, they can easily fit in a tote and are perfect for those summer days and nights.
Something fun in the collection is the Casadei x Alessandro Enriquez capsule collection featuring the strawberry (a symbol of the Italian summer) as the center. It’s a playful capsule and colorful, with the iconic Casadei strap.
“Energy, joy, creativity and color are the founding elements of this capsule, which sums up our vision of life and work. A collection that expresses the luxury of summer lightness and mixes creativity and freshness with a fun and carefree touch,” says Cesare Casadei, Creative Director of the fashion house in collection notes. “Cesare has been a perfect partner to celebrate a shared ironic vision that stands out for its fearlessness and bold colors. Working together was an amazing journey, a whirlwind of ideas and research, and never a crossed word. Casadei's historical anecdotes nourished the creative process. When you love what you do, everything flows in harmony,” explains Alessandro Enriquez.
Even though it’s autumn and there is a hint of warm air fading off from summer 2025, this collection already has us dreaming about summer 2026, and stepping into a pair of shoes from this new collection.
