In Conversation: Malone Souliers Winter 2025

E

very Malone Souliers collection is shaped by the creative dialogue between Co-Creative Directors Coco Fong and Valerio Bava, and the Winter 2025 collection continues that story.

This season, they bring that vision to New York City, the backdrop for the campaign. Against this setting, the collection unfolds with sculptural silhouettes, bold finishes and timeless sophistication.

In this exclusive conversation, Coco and Valerio share the inspirations behind the season, from their ultimate femme fatale icons to the standout styles that can make a Tuesday feel cinematic.

In your own words, how would you sum up the Winter 2025 collection?

Coco: Sartorial and seductive

Valerio: Elegant, edgy, polished but dangerous.

Why did New York feel like the right backdrop for the Winter 2025 campaign?

Coco and Valerio: New York City has always been an inspiring backdrop to cinema and the era of Hollywood, and it still continues to capture that energy, grit, and glamour that is so very relevant to the collection and the Malone Souliers woman. 

What’s your favourite piece from the collection — and why does it stand out to you?

Coco: I love the black satin Nomi for its 50s-inspired silhouette and details – the T-bar, peep toe, and pearl-embellished buckle make it so charming. 

Valerio: Bettina is a standout; it feels very true to the brand aesthetic while bringing it to the future.

Which style from the collection feels most like a “power stride” shoe?

Coco: The Sylvie! The platform sandal has the perfect height and will give you the best strut when you want to feel strong and sexy. 

Valerio: The Nolan boot, easy, sexy, comfortable, and can be dressed up or down. For the girls who do it all!

Can you share a behind-the-scenes moment from the design process or campaign shoot that made this season special?

Coco and Valerio: Shooting the campaign in NYC was so thrilling. Tommy, Tyler, and Jessi were the dream team to work with. Our wonderful model, Michelle, was the MVP – running around the busy crosswalks and cobbled streets in towering heels all day long so we could get the perfect shot. I’m so glad we got to capture the moment of Michelle with some adorable dogs on their walk.

What’s the one Winter 2025 shoe you’d slip on to make an ordinary Tuesday feel cinematic?

Coco: Bettina. This new pump in black patent has our signature curved lines that will add interest to any look. 

Valerio: Tippi in black lace, moody and seductive. The lace over patent material is an expected but delicious combo.

From leopard print to glossy patent, this season is full of bold finishes. What’s your go-to statement texture in real life?

Coco: I love velvet and patent. Opposing but equally luxurious materials that bring flair and finesse to an outfit. 

Valerio: A good animalier print is always a good choice.

The collection is steeped in noir glamour. Who’s your ultimate femme fatale icon?

Coco: Kim Novak in Vertigo.

Valerio: Tippi Hedren as “Marnie”.

What’s a song that instantly gets you in the mood for the new season?

Coco: Shapeshifter – Lorde 

Valerio: Something by Miles Davis
