Brazilian Glamour, Italian Craft: Alexandre Birman’s Signature Stiletto
Origins and Founding
Alexandre Birman launched his eponymous label in 2008, drawing from a childhood spent in the Brazilian footwear industry and a lifelong passion for shoemaking. Known for his signature use of exotic skins, feminine lines, and handcrafted techniques, Birman quickly became a global favorite for red carpet-ready heels with effortless sensuality.
