Having grown up in south Brazil, Vanassibara moved to the UK at the age of 22. He has a degree and a diploma from Cordwainers in footwear design and product development.

Diego Vanassibara is a design led shoe brand where style and aesthetics transcend time and place. Craftsmanship is at the heart of the label as well as innovation, giving rise to a modern artisanship. Ethical and ecological awareness are part of the business model.

Give men the opportunity to dream too. That's one of the main motivations behind the Diego Vanassibara brand. To create individual, unique and desirable footwear to satisfy the needs of a contemporary and discerning consumer who seeks for truly authentic products.

'It is actually not a piece, but a unique shoe construction that I created called hybrid construction, where I fuse both Oxford and Derby into one unit. And naturally, everything is permeated by a modern and contemporary take on artisanship'.

Diego Vanassibara will present its Spring-Summer 2015 collection during the London Collections: Men, which will be held from 15th to 17th of June 2014 in the UK.
