Celia Marco has become one of Spain’s most promising footwear designers. Born in Elda in Alicante, she grew up in the world of shoes, inheriting a footwear factory from her father, where she is now chief designer.
Though ably trained in fashion, design, patterning, stylism and photography, Celia Marco did not make her wholesale entry into the footwear industry until 2002. Her first collections were for the Spring-Summer 2004 season and made their début at the Cibeles Catwalk in Madrid, where she provided shoes for the women’s wear collections presented by Juan Duyos and David Delfín. Her work with both designers, which has continued in subsequent seasons, has contributed to her current success. She has also been commissioned to provide footwear for Ángel Vilda’s catwalk shows.
Celia Marco’s designs are striking for their colour, comfort and combinations of different trends. Meticulous attention to detail and putting the shoe first, rather than relegating it to the realms of pure accessory, are two key brand values.
To date, Celia Marco’s collections have primarily made their name in Spain. Her key global priorities are now Germany, Japan and Britain, where her designs can be found at specialist retailers like Sweet Suburbia in Hamburg or Jun Adamed Rope in Tokyo.
