The first collection wasn't easy to understand, it was somehow rough, but that one collection had all the premises of what was going to come. It was realized with the highest quality materials, the color combinations were absolutely bold and the processing techniques were among the most complicated a designer could decide to use. Since that moment the path was set. These initial choices became the
leitmotive throughout the following seasons. Angelo doesn’t like simple things and rather than a designer he considers himself a craftsman, an employee in his own factory. Season after season after designing the collection, he joins his skilled employees working on the production chain in order to keep a first person relation with the materials and witness the outcome of his experimental ideas. This is how and why Joe Nephis became an open playground. A playground both for Angelo and his customers, which are always welcome to personalize their order with the material selection of the season. Every single collection is born from profound considerations on the avant-garde universe in fashion and a speculation on its possible evolution. Over time Joe Nephis has gathered the interest of press and buyers for its strong identity and dauntless choices and is beginning to emerge as a distinguished and recognizable brand in the vast panorama of Made in Italy footwear.
