Autry for Women
Autry was founded in the early 80s in Texas, as a manufacturer of sneakers which soon became iconic must-haves around the world. However, the sport’s shoes with the American flag, as they are known, had to surrender to giants Nike and Reebok, and the company closed down production, seemingly for good. But then, in 2019, the brand was relaunched by a couple of French designers Alberto Raengo and Régis Billard, long-term fans of the U.S. shoes who decided to rev up production lines again, convinced of the success of their European know-how applied to U.S. tastes. The result is a vintage-style sneaker inspired by the “less is more” philosophy - a minimalist design for a unisex shoe (although there are both male and female collections) that perfectly matches any outfit. Autry has found its own space in the world of fashionable sportswear, with a highly respectable past and a surely brilliant future.
Designer Sneakers
What is the difference between a tennis shoe and a sneaker? The secret lies in the sole, in natural rubber. Audry sneakers have all-over sole traction, and the leather upper is resistant and attached with multiple stitching that gives the shoe timeless life expectancy. Among the most iconic models of the brand, we must mention the legendary The Medalist, with “game set match” logo lettering on the side of the sole, in white and grey leather and sueded, with a padded collar and green heel at the back. The shoes are perforated at the toe for improved transpiration. They can be worn with jeans, canvas trousers, or shorts, as well as a skirt or elegant dress: these sneakers enhance the charm of any outfit. It is truly impressive how many models the company manages to create for each collection, and there is a real temptation to buy them all: one particularly transgressive example is the line of sneakers made in worn-look leather that gives the shoes a real vintage look which is always ultra-chic. The Autry sneakers are designed for women who are both chic and sporty, who love simple but refined design without ever compromising on comfort in any situation whatsoever.
Designer fleeces and jumpsuits
Autry proposes a very basic range of clothing: no jackets or classic trousers, but lots of fleeces (tops and trousers) and t-shirts. Sportswear in harmony with Autry’s simplicity in three basic plain colours: white, black and grey. The only twist comes with the printed logo, also in gold, on some loose and regular-fit t-shirts. For die-hard fans, there’s the fleece with the all-over frontal U.S. flag and Autry lettering at the top. For those who instead prefer a more serious total black or white look, there is the option of the jumpsuit with the brand name barely visible at the edges. These are very chic jumpsuits that are not necessarily just for the afternoon stroll: matched with a pair of the brand’s sneakers, they can be transformed for an inexplicably smart look despite their casual nature. Among the accessories, cotton socks carry the U.S. flag customised in black on white or gold on black, super-chic when peeping out from under the trousers. The brand’s clothing range in general is treated like an accessory range, because the real stars here are the sneakers: in all possible versions but with a unique and instantly recognisable style - versatile, vintage, comfortable and ultra-glam all at the same time.
