Profile
Working from two continents allows OS more creative exposure and market coverage to provide optimal footwear design opportunities for clients worldwide.
OS is comprised of two globally conscious and passionate designers with a love for life. Founders, Salvatore Oliva and Marco Simonetti, met in Europe and share a creative energy stemming from the land and ocean of their youth, the historic footwear tradition of their native regions and fifteen years of combined international footwear design experience working with brands such as: Tod’s, Camper, Diesel, Converse, Nautica, Clarks, Rockport, Hilfiger, Hi-Tec and Piaggio Vespa to name a few.
OS works with a diverse client base ranging from design-driven footwear brands to premium non-footwear brands that want to create brand extensions. OS is capable of designing all types of footwear, ranging from casual-dress to athletic performance for both genders.
The OS approach to footwear design merges the foundation of traditional footwear making with a modern industrial-product design process for conceptual and commercial end results.
OS works closely with their clients from initial brief to production. OS utilizes a combined network of mainstream and independent sources for global trends, trade shows and ideas.
