CRIMAGNO, the Swiss ethical footwear brand known for combining luxury with sustainability, has been awarded the Avantgarde Award 2025 by the Swiss American Chamber of Commerce in Southern California.
The award was presented at the prestigious Avantgarde Gala, an event that celebrates remarkable vision, innovation, and forward-thinking leadership within the global Swiss community. The committee selected CRIMAGNO for its impactful work in reshaping the future of fashion through sustainable technology and strong environmental and social responsibility.
From Food Waste to Luxury Footwear
Founded on the belief that luxury should coexist with purpose, CRIMAGNO produces hybrid, genderless shoes made from food production waste such as citrus, corn, apple, mushrooms, and other sustainable materials.
Each pair is fully recyclable, and worn shoes are transformed into athletic tracks and sound-absorbing panels as part of the brand’s circular design model.
Every purchase also supports reforestation initiatives, providing employment for rural communities and contributing to the restoration of natural ecosystems.
Swiss Design, Italian Craftsmanship
Designed in Switzerland and handmade in Italy, CRIMAGNO has gained worldwide recognition through international fairs and multiple awards. Customers value the brand’s comfort, advanced technology, contemporary aesthetics, and the ability to fully customize each pair.
A Milestone for Ethical Innovation
Winning the Avantgarde Award 2025 marks a significant milestone in CRIMAGNO’s journey. It underscores the growing importance of ethical innovation in shaping the fashion industry of the future.
CRIMAGNO plans to continue its global expansion while promoting the message that beauty and responsibility can coexist—and that every step has the power to create positive impact.
