If good shoes take you to good places, then Giuseppe Zanotti‘s Spring/Sumer 2019 collections for men and women will take you beyond the ordinary — to one of these far flung destinations if you’re lucky. The designer himself did once muse, “When I design, I dream.”
With the new women’s collection, Zanotti celebrates the city woman who’s determined and confident in her choices. This times up perfectly with the brands 25th anniversary, a perfect opportunity to flex what Giuseppe Zanotti’s been strutting all along: high quality fabrics, jewel details, and elegant proportions.
The collection features luxurious fabrics like soft nappa leather, leopard print silk, velvety suede and leathers of crocodile and python. With a colour palette ranging ranging from classic ebony to off-white, earthy beige to Marrakech brown, shocking pink to salmon, no two pairs are alike. A key piece is the Peony, a sexy stiletto adorned with obviously, a giant peony — and that’s a shoe that takes five hours to make.
The men’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection highlights the Urchin. Literally inspired by the sea urchin’s shape and form, the Urchin comes in sandal and sneaker form, both channeling the functionality of a classic trekking style. The chunky, platform rubber sole is every bit comfortable as it looks — it’s almost unreal how soft and cosy your feet feel inside them.
