This past fashion season has been an absolute whirlwind for Chanii B—and we couldn’t be more thrilled! Seeing Chanii B shoes grace the runways of New York Fashion Week (NYFW) and Milan Fashion Week was not only a dream come true but a testament to years of dedication, creativity, and passion poured into every design. These two world-renowned stages were the perfect platforms to introduce our bold and artistic footwear to fashion lovers from around the globe. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at this milestone and the invaluable partnerships that made it all possible.
There’s something incredibly electric about New York Fashion Week. The streets buzz with anticipation, and the shows are a magnet for creativity from around the world. For Chantal Pilon, the visionary designer behind Chanii B, it was a surreal experience to watch her shoes strut down the runway in one of fashion’s biggest events.
The Carpe Diem heels turned heads with their bold, unapologetic style—a true showstopper. It’s one thing to design a beautiful shoe, but it’s an entirely different experience to see it come alive under the runway spotlights, capturing the audience's awe. These shoes weren’t just accessories; they were a powerful statement, a perfect fit for a city that thrives on fearless self-expression. But this achievement would not have been possible without the incredible support of Flying Solo NYC, a platform that champions independent designers. Their belief in our brand gave us the chance to showcase our designs on one of the most prestigious runways in the world, two years in a row.
Fashion Meets Art in Milan
Following NYFW, Milan Fashion Week brought another wave of excitement. Known for its artistic elegance and luxury, Milan was the perfect stage for Chanii B to shine. The Blue/Purple Foil Rockin' heels and the Black/White Newsprint Pointure heels captivated the crowd with their unique fusion of bold colors, textures, and cutting-edge design.
There’s an artistry to Italian fashion, and it felt fitting to see Chanii B shoes, with its creative flair, walk alongside the world's most esteemed designers. The reception was more than we could have imagined—Chantal had the opportunity to dress over 20 models, where other designers only had as few as 8. An unbelievable experience that will always be remembered.
Our presence at Milan Fashion Week wouldn’t have been possible without the prestigious Milano Fashion Awards, which provided us the platform to feature Chanii B shoes in front of fashion’s most discerning audience. The opportunity to be part of this celebrated event was an honor, and we are deeply thankful to the Milano Fashion Awards team for helping bring our designs to life in Milan.
The Journey to the Runway
It’s easy to see the glamour of NYFW and Milan Fashion Week, but behind every show is a journey full of creativity, long hours, and unyielding passion. For Chantal Pilon, these moments represent the culmination of years spent mastering her craft—every pair of Chanii B shoes reflects her unique perspective, blending luxury with a touch of the unexpected.
To see the designs that started as sketches on paper make their way to two of the most renowned fashion stages in the world is something truly special. It’s a reminder that, with the right blend of hard work and creativity, the sky's the limit.
