Today I want to introduce you a new designer, Elena Cristina Toma. I have interviewed her for the fashion magazine on line Premi\u00e8re Shooting. You can read the interview here, but unfortunately is only in Italian. FW 2010 collection&nbsp; Elena Cristina Toma, rumena, classe 1978, \u00e8 la shoe-designer emergente del brand Toma. Nel 1998 si \u00e8 trasferita a Milano per iniziare gli studi in fashion design all&#8217;Istituto Burgo, e successivamente ha assistito per pi\u00f9 di sei anni Mariuccia Mandelli alla prima linea della maison Krizia. In quel periodo ha maturato la scelta di voler realizzare qualcosa di realmente suo e che rispondesse alle tre caratteristiche fondamentali della scarpa dei sogni: bellezza, eleganza e comodit\u00e0. E&#8217; cos\u00ec che nel 2008, dopo ulteriori studi dedicati all&#8217;imprenditoria e al marketing, nasce il marchio di calzature TOMA. Elena Cristina Toma, Romanian, born in 1978, is the emerging shoe designer of the brand Toma. In 1998 she moved to Milan to begin her studies in fashion design at the Burgo Institute. Then, for more than six years, became the personal assistant of the great Mariuccia Mandelli, working with her at the Krizia pret-\u00e0-porter line. Since then Elena Cristina wanted to create something truly her own and that would involve the three fundamental characteristics of the perfect shoe: beauty, elegance and comfort. So, after further studies on entrepreneurship and marketing, in 2008 born the luxury footwear brand TOMA. FW 2011 collection Le calzature Toma sono raffinate e si distinguono per la preziosit\u00e0 dei pellami esotici e l&#8217;ottima fattura artigianale esclusivamente italiana, sono infatti realizzate nel famosissimo distretto calzaturiero di Parabiago, nel Milanese. Altro elemento fondante dello stile Toma \u00e8 l&#8217;uso del colore, ispirato ai contrasti cromatici presenti in natura: acqua e scogli, roccia e muschio, terra ed ossido, legno e foglie. The Toma shoes are characterized for the beauty of the exotic leathers and the fine Italian craftsmanship, they are made \u200b\u200bin the famous footwear-district of Parabiago, near Milan. The Color is another fundamental element of the Toma style: Elena Cristina is inspired by the color contrasts found in nature such as water and rocks, rocks and moss, earth and oxide, wood and leaves. SS 2012 collection Perenni punti di riferimento nell&#8217;iter creativo di Elena Cristina Toma sono artisti rumeni come lo scultore Constantin Brancusi o l&#8217;illustratore Saul Steinberg, ma la nuova collezione Primavera Estate 2012 trae ispirazione dalla corrente artistica dell\u2019impressionismo con i suoi rapidi colpi di colore e le pennellate che creano linee emozionali uniformi e irregolari. La palette non pu\u00f2 che richiamare la natura e i suoi contrasti accattivanti: ciclamino, verde, cipria, rosa perlato, arancio terracotta, ottanio, oro, lilla, azzurro, roccia, tutti declinati in materiali preziosi quali lucertola, coccodrillo, pitone, camoscio e raso. The Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi or the illustrator Saul Steinberg are a perennial reference for Elena Cristina Toma, but the new Spring Summer 2012 collection is inspired by the Impressionists with their rapid strokes of color and the brush strokes that create emotional lines. The palette recalls the nature and its captivating contrasts: magenta, green, powder pink, pearl pink, orange terra-cotta, teal, gold, purple, blue and rock, all declined in precious materials like lizard, crocodile, python, suede and satin. SS 2012 collection Per l&#8217;uomo il vero prestigio passa attraverso una selezionatissima scelta di pellami presso&nbsp;aziende di fama mondiale che fanno della qualit\u00e0 la loro arma vincente. Ecco allora pitone, coccodrillo, lucertola, Horween Shell Cordovan, vitello a concia vegetale lavorati con olii naturali e tinti a mano creando interessanti effetti sfumati su scarpe classiche dalla linea essenziale come derby, Oxford, mocassini, barca e golf. The real prestige of the man line passes through a range of materials selected from the world&#8217;s most famous leathers companies. So there are python, crocodile, lizard, Horween Shell Cordovan, vegetable-tanned calfskin finished with natural oils and dyed by hand to create interesting shaded effects. Classic shoes with essential shapes as derby, Oxford, moccasins, boat and golf.
