Pantone Color of 2020: Increasingly Glam, a Classic Blue Makes Everyone Go Crazy!

In the collection by GuidoMaggi elevator shoes inspired by the iconic color; a range of styles, from classic to casual, to best honor the choice of a timeless and elegant shade!

A great classic that never goes out of style is now celebrated as the Pantone Color of 2020. Let’s talk about the classic blue, a shade of intense blue, close to the indigo. The stars, but also royalty from Kate Middleton to Queen Elizabeth, have already shown off this nuance by anticipating the trend for next year. „We live in a moment that requires trust and faith“- Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute explained to the Time. „I believe that this kind of constancy and trust is well expressed by this solid and deep blue color on which we all can always rely“. The official note of the institute further specifies the choice: „We present the Pantone Color of the year 2020, PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, timeless and elegant shade of blue in its simplicity. “Striking in the sky at dusk, the reassuring qualities of Classic Blue offer the promise of protection; highlighting our desire for a reliable and stable base from which to start”. A decisive, protective choice that, in a schizophrenic world where life flows fast, offers a safe, welcoming and fascinating port at the same time.

In chromotherapy, this particular nuance symbolizes calm, tranquility and balance. It is a precious color that, in art, is obtained with a recipe of linseed oil and lapis lazuli powder. The Classic Blue dominates the marinière lines paired with white for a winning combination, loved by Picasso, Coco Chanel, and Jean Paul Gaultier, while Yves Saint Laurent makes it precious, just like lapis lazuli powder, combining it with black in elegant evening looks. In the next twelve months, this color will definitely be the compass of the style, and as often happens, GuidoMaggi had anticipated it. The brand of exclusive elevator shoes, handmade by expert artisans from the finest materials, anticipates trends with creations inspired by the nuance chosen to inaugurate the new decade.

Among the GuidoMaggi creations what you should definitely keep an eye on, in the upcoming year, is the new collection of elevator combat boots in pony skin leather, the natural, unbleached cowhide leather whose final aspect is precisely that of horse.

Additionally, in the exclusive selection, the dynamic and cool Blue Sparrow leap to the eye. With upper made of pony leather skin in a timeless blue shade, laces, a tone-on-tone natural rubber sole and an inner lining in warm sheepskin, the Blue Sparrow is able to increase height from 2.4 (6 cm)  up to 4 inches (10 cm) in absolute comfort. It is a must-have in the wardrobe, not only because of the super trendy shade but also for the unique style, attention to detail and prestige of the materials. Such footwear makes your outfit increasingly glam and unique.

For a casual chic look, Corinth is the elevator double buckle with blue calf leather upper and hand-painted braided calfskin with shades between ocean blue and sky blue. The sole is in real leather with anti-slip rubber. Clean lines and refined design for a double buckle that radiates the secrets of meticulous craftsmanship. It is a timeless model that increases height up to 3.1 inches (8 cm) made of fine leathers with finishes made entirely by hand.

Finally, for the lovers of unique sporty yet chic outfits, here is La Brea Avenue, the high-top handmade sneakers, made of soft calfskin with four different finishes and shades: white calf leather, suede, buffered blue calfskin, and light blue suede. The super-light natural rubber sole offers maximum stability and durability for an urban chic look, ideal in combination with casual but also street outfits.

La Brea Avenue is a part of the new Hollywood Peak Sneakers Capsule Collection by GuidoMaggi, the line of sports shoes loved by celebrities. The unique sneakers with an internal elevator system are able to increase the height of the wearer from 3.1 (8 cm) up to 4.9 inches ( 12,5 cm) in absolute comfort and discretion.
