Which Madison Maison Boot Is in Numéro Switzerland’s Blue Monday?
Blue Monday is Numéro Switzerland’s fashion story for November, published November 1, 2026. The magazine opens it with one line: “As routine settles back in and the city returns to its grey rhythm, personal style becomes an act of quiet rebellion.” Andrea Miliotti photographed it among concrete pillars and ribbed walls, styled and art directed by Stela Plaka, with Anis of Major Models in every frame.
The color in the story comes in two looks finished on the Black Tall Boot with Floral Embroidery: a purple beret, a purple top and a mustard skirt by Mugler. Standing between the pillars, the white embroidery climbs the black shaft to just below the knee. Crouched against the wall, the vines and leaves wrap the leg. The credit under both reads: shoes Madison Maison by Fauzian Jeunesse.

Who Makes the Embroidered Cowboy Boot?
Numéro Switzerland credits it the way it is made: Madison Maison by Fauzian Jeunesse. David Assil, the founder of Madison Maison in Beverly Hills, designs the boot, and it is handmade in Italy. The embroidery is where the making shows.
Flower sequence, the way he did it, the way the factory did it is just awesome.

That's why I love working with these certain factories that I work with. They are just geniuses in executing whatever my idea might be.

David Assil on the Embroidered Cowboy Boot
Before the boot went to Numéro, David filmed this short walk through it at Madison Maison: the heel and its pitch, the embroidery, the fit on the leg, the leather and the rubber insert for travel. His words, unscripted.
First one I want to talk about is this tall flower boot which I love. I thought it came out just exactly the way I wanted it to. The heel's right, the pitch on the heel's right.
David Assil, Madison Maison
How Should a Tall Cowboy Boot Fit?
Close to the leg. The shaft is 14 inches with a curved V cut at the top, and it is meant to follow the calf rather than stand away from it.
I always try to do it so that it'll accentuate the leg. I don't really like it when the boot's baggy, unless it's a floppy boot and that's what the style is. But styles like this to me should be really following the leg, giving it a great look, making it hip and sexy at the same time.
David Assil, Madison Maison
Is an Embroidered Leather Boot Stiff?
It looks structured, with all that stitching on the shaft. It is not.
The leather is super soft, real soft. It looks like it would be stiff, but it's not.
David Assil, Madison Maison
Can You Travel in Tall Cowboy Boots?
That is what the rubber insert under the sole is for.
I always try to put a little rubber insert as well on the bottom in case you're traveling. You know, cobblestone streets, whether it's in Europe, New York, wherever you are in the world, so they can be comfortable.

How Did Numéro Style the Embroidered Cowboy Boot?
Standing, with color
A purple beret, a purple top and a mustard skirt by Mugler, with a brown leather vest over it. The black boot with its white embroidery is the graphic line that holds the colors together.
Crouched, at the wall
The same look, folded down against the concrete. Low to the ground, the embroidery is what you see: white vines and leaves running from the pointed toe up the shaft.

Full transcript, David Assil on the tall flower boot (lightly edited for clarity)
Welcome to Madison Maison, Madison Beverly Hills. Today I want to talk about pieces that we designed that are coming in for this fall. First one I want to talk about is this tall flower boot which I love. I thought it came out just exactly the way I wanted it to. The heel's right, the pitch on the heel's right, toe shape character is fantastic. Flower sequence, the way he did it, the way the factory did it is just awesome and it fits really nice on the leg. I always try to do it so that it'll accentuate the leg. I don't really like it when the boot's baggy, unless it's a floppy boot and that's what the style is. But styles like this to me should be really following the leg, giving it a great look, making it hip and sexy at the same time. This is going to be coming in in navy and black. Super excited about this boot. As always, I always try to put a little rubber insert as well on the bottom in case you're traveling. You know, cobblestone streets, whether it's in Europe, New York, wherever you are in the world, so they can be comfortable. The leather is super soft, real soft. It looks like it would be stiff, but it's not. That's why I love working with these certain factories that I work with. They are just geniuses in executing whatever my idea might be. [...] So looking very forward to these. And I think you'll love them once you see them yourself in the flesh or online.
