On September 24th, at the restaurant Da Giacomo Arengario in Milan, the second edition of RI-NASCIMENTO took place, the event with which the Consorzio Cuoio di Toscana celebrated its 40 years of artisanal excellence. At the center of the evening was the preview of the new Opanka for women, the result of a collaboration with designer Diego Dolcini, which continued the stylistic path inaugurated by the men\u2019s version, bringing together tradition, innovation, and sustainability.<\/p>\n
The women\u2019s shoe, crafted with the traditional Opanka technique that merges sole and upper into a single element, represented the perfect balance between craftsmanship and contemporary vision. The collection featured eight color variations in nappa and laminated leather and introduced GAIT-TECH\u00ae technology, a patented biomechanical device that ensured comfort and stability without compromising aesthetics.<\/p>\n
The evening also included a talk moderated by Fabiana Giacomotti, fashion historian and curator of Il Foglio della Moda, with the participation of Antonio Quirici, Diego Dolcini, and Daniele Calcaterra, dedicated to the excellence of Made in Italy, the value of innovation, and the strength of tradition.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal was to transform tradition into a contemporary language, creating authentic, sustainable products projected into the future,\u201d commented Antonio Quirici, President of Cuoio di Toscana.<\/p>\n
\u201cCollaborating with Cuoio di Toscana meant bringing together creativity and technique in a continuous dialogue between past and future. The new Opanka for women proved that elegance and innovation could walk hand in hand,\u201d stated Diego Dolcini.<\/p>\n
On this occasion, the CDT Prize was awarded to Calcaterra, a brand that this year celebrated 10 years in the Camera Moda calendar, further strengthening the link between creativity, responsibility, and talent.<\/p>\n
The shoes featured in the fashion show were made with Cuoio di Toscana\u2019s iconic green sole, sealing the encounter between artisanal excellence, stylistic experimentation, and sustainability\u2014values that have guided the Consortium for 40 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cReceiving the CDT Prize in this setting was a recognition that went beyond design: it celebrated the commitment to sustainability and the pursuit of new languages in the fashion system,\u201d affirmed Daniele Calcaterra, who was awarded during\u00a0the\u00a0evening.<\/p>\n
