During Milan Fashion Week, Fratelli Rossetti unveiled its much-anticipated Spring-Summer 2025 collection, titled “Shades of Earth, Shades of Summer”. This collection pays homage to the warm, rich colours of both earth and summer, incorporating these tones into its meticulously crafted footwear designs.
The presentation will be held in the Fratelli Rossetti showroom in the heart of Milan, where it will be possible to immerse yourself in a space that recalls different color shades inspired by the tones of the collection.
The atmosphere will be enhanced by the inclusion of a giant tassel, the unmistakable signature of Fratelli Rossetti’s Brera loafer, customized by South African artist Cara Judd. The designer, whose works involve experimentation with materials, techniques and processes related to different areas, wanted to give her personal interpretation of one of the brand’s iconic elements.

Brera Loafer Reinvented: Suede and Leather Variants in Bold New Colors
This season, the Fratelli Rossetti Spring-Summer 2025 collection introduces two groundbreaking design features. The Brera loafer will be offered with two new kinds of processing: “tech weave” and “lettuce leaf edging”. The first is a stylistic and technological evolution that celebrates the combination of traditional craftsmanship and creative experimentation; the weave is created using leather strips, sewn in a zig zag pattern with different colored threads on a mesh support, creating a three-dimensional effect. The iconic Brera model is joined by the slipper, ballerina flat and baby sandal. The dominant colors recall those of the earth, almond, olive, must and mango.
The “lettuce leaf edging” features a serpentine effect; the thread is finely pulled to create an elegant wave-like movement, lending a unique and refined dynamism. Here the Brera will be featured in two variants: suede and leather, the former in suede in pastel shades; the latter in leather in white, black, almond and water lily colors.
