Brando’s going feet first into autumn and winter. Just because its shoes are Italian-made doesn’t mean the brand doesn’t know what we need here in New Zealand and across the ditch: sharper mornings, longer shadows and a shift towards structured dressing.

Glenn Martens has never been one for subtle entrances.
