Exceptional Comfort Meets Artistic Design

PHILIPPE MODEL is a shoe brand rapidly gaining popularity in Europe and the US. Handcrafted by skilled Italian artisans, these sneakers offer both exceptional comfort and artistic design. Loved by fashion-conscious celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Rita Ora, this is a brand to watch.

The brand's origins trace back to the 1980s when French designer Philippe Model, while creating avant-garde hats for famous fashion houses, also launched his own collection of bags and shoes. His elasticated shoes became a global hit at the time.

In the late 90s, he shifted his focus to interior design. However, a meeting with Italian shoe designer Paolo Gambato in 2009 marked the relaunch of his fashion projects. The collection, a fusion of Paolo's creativity and Philippe's sensibility for color, quickly became a sensation in Europe and was picked up by top stores worldwide, including Barneys New York, Printemps, and Le Bon Marché. Today, in addition to sneakers, the brand offers menswear and, in France, a women's heel collection. Since its official launch in Japan in Fall/Winter 2013, it has steadily gained a growing fanbase.



The limited-time stores will showcase the entire 2014 Autumn/Winter collection. The latest collection features numerous sneakers with luxurious and expressive designs, achieved through skillful paneling. We invite you to experience the refined sensibility and the impeccable craftsmanship of Italian artisans that define PHILIPPE MODEL.
