With Rio de Janeiro preparing to host the Olympics next year, Brazilian footwear brand Ipanema is playing off its heritage with a collection designed to reflect the vibrancy of its homeland.
The spring 16 range sees the label’s signature bright colours combined with softer pastel shades while Brazilian flora and fauna appear as prints on the soles of flip-flops.
Ipanema’s mainline collection ranges from £5.50 to £13.20 wholesale, while the more sophisticated premium range goes up to £45.
Ipanema will exhibit at Pure London, Moda in Birmingham, Micam in Milan and FN Platform, Las Vegas.
