About
Style is a strictly personal way of being. It has no impositions or age; it means always feeling at ease with yourself (Daniele Ancarani)
OUR HISTORY
Daniele Ancarani was born in Bologna, and there, during the 80s, he gained a prominence position as a designer for the best women’s footwear companies in the area. His creativity trained and developed first with Buccheri, Bruno Magli and Di Sandro, then he launched his own first collection.
Daniele Ancarani line was born in 2001: style, elegance and comfort are the guidelines of the brand. Useless accessories, modernist hyperboles and “young at all costs” dictats were left aside. The simplicity of the shapes, the carefully crafted details and the artisanal finishes take over. Daniele Ancarani’s main concern is to “abandon sensationalism and propose portable and concrete products without abandoning creativity or imagination. They are in fact combined into results of style and saleability at the same time”
In the same year the first store opened in Bologna: an elegant place inspired by the American architecture of the 40s. Other openings then followed, again in Bologna, Rome Paris Catania, Milan. In 2024 2 new openings are planned in Castelfranco Veneto and Florence. Each space and location has a particular layout chosen and designed by Daniele’s creativity. A passionate traveller, Ancarani explores physical places in search of inspiration for his products. He distributes not only on the national territory but also beyond the borders. Internationally established brands such as Pura Lopez, Beverly Fieldman and Philippe Model will be represented with meticulous expertise.
2014 marks an important date for Daniele Ancarani and his partnership with Fabio Alibrandi, his life and work partner: the evolution of the Brand thanks to the new showroom on the outskirts of Bologna, in via Zanolini. The conversion of a previous factory into a special place of ideal elegance represents the right setting to Daniele Ancarani collections.
BRAND
Daniele Ancarani collections are inspired by sophisticated yet comfortable streetwear where the shapes and heights of the heels are never extreme. Constant interaction with customers allows to satisfy the immediate needs of the market. For this reason the philosophy at the base of the Brand is to create quality products using contemporary materials, colours and lines at an accessible price still paying extreme care and attention to every detail.
