"My name is Fabiana Baeta Neves Pinto Lima. I am a Brazilian lawyer who decided to follow a deep passion for the creative world by studying Fashion Design. This passion is especially focused on the art of footwear, where I combine my professional background with my love for shoe design. For me, fashion is more than a study—it's a true calling."

The presented footwear project seeks to establish a harmonious dialogue between the traditions of classic shoemaking and the demands of contemporary design, focusing on a luxury men's collection. The central proposal articulates the use of time-honored silhouettes, such as the loafer and the espadrille, with elements of structural innovation, exemplified by multi-layered outsoles and "split" constructions that blend rubber textures and lugged profiles. Visually, the work is sustained by a sophisticated palette of neutral tones, such as beige and natural macaron, punctuated by the vigor of burgundy leather and hand-woven tressé details, which reinforce the value of craftsmanship. Beyond aesthetics, there is a detailed technical exploration that includes the use of materials such as suede, transparent components, and personalized hardware, resulting in a product that not only fulfills the functionality of fit but also positions itself as an artistic design object aimed at a market that values exclusivity and constructive complexity.
