Pitti autumn 11 brand profile: Mark McNairy

US designer Mark McNairy has made a name for his colourful panelled footwear, but for autumn 11, he is excited about black. “I’ve done a whole collection in black,” he told us on day one of Pitti, “I don’t know what inspired it but it’s probably what’s exciting me most for the coming season.”



With this he picked up the suede shoe in the centre above and told us he has "done" black in a full range of materials. Does this mean he is turning his back on colour?
“Not at all,” he said, “the brights are still doing really well. The black footwear is only a part of a range that extends to about fifty styles now if you take in all the colourways.”
Well that’s a relief. And you can see by the pictures that McNairy is still backing bright soles, clashing uppers and spicy tans. Meanwhile, in amongst all the brogues, gum soled chukkas made a debut.
