MOROBÉ
THE PHENOMENOM OF THE ANTWERP-BASED SHOE BRAND
WE BASE OUR OUTFIT ON THE SHOES NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
VIRGINIE MOROBÉ
In the corridors of her school, little Virginie Morobé slipped with remarkable ease into her drab gray uniform. However, it was the tasteless shoes that caused her the most grief. Every flower, motif or detail perfectly placed on a pair of forbidden shoes made her capsize with emotion, bringing tears to her cheeks. But years went by, and Virginie finally found the ultimate redemption: she launched her own brand of high-end shoes. Based in Antwerp, Belgium's fashion capital, MOROBÉ was more than just a brand; it was an exuberant celebration of Virginie's passion for shoes, craftsmanship and exquisite design. For her, every shoe was a canvas, a means of expressing her love of contemporary elegance and powerful femininity.
A Fusion of Elegance, Craftsmanship, and Sensuality
Based in Antwerp, the fashion capital of Belgium, since 2015, MOROBÉ is much more than a mere reflection of Virginie Morobé's boundless passion for elegant footwear, deeply-rooted craftsmanship, and exquisite design. Don't expect ordinary sneakers here: each collection is an ode to femininity in all its contrasting facets. MOROBÉ embodies contemporary elegance and powerful sensuality, seamlessly blending the purity of the ancient Italian grand masters with contemporary resilience and technological innovation. Virginie's design process is a direct manifestation of her constant personal development and growth.
Bridging the Past and Present in Fashion's Footsteps
Virginie Morobé has always drawn her inspiration from the purism of the old Italian masters, while embracing the boldness and technological advances of today. Each creation was the fruit of a deeply personal creative process, a direct manifestation of his development as an individual.
"As I draw, I connect deeply with my inner self. My instinct is my compass, guiding me to my path. I know I was born for this; it's both my purpose and my game", she confided with conviction.
In this way, Virginie Morobé aims to leave her mark on the fashion industry, offering women the world over the opportunity to wear shoes that reflect their unique essence, and celebrating the harmonious fusion of past and present in every step they take.
The Unstoppable Rise
The entrepreneur acquired her expertise at Frida, a Belgian shoe brand. In 2012, she founded her own label, "March 23", in collaboration with an associate. However, after two years, she decided to leave this venture to create her very first model under her own label in 2015. In just eight years, she has already reached her second boutique in Antwerp. Where will this talented designer stop?
MOROBÉ is also a non-gender-specific shoe collection. At the request of her most stylish male friends, such as César Casier, Glenn Sestig and her husband, David Damman, Virginie Morobé set out to transcend the boundaries of gender.
