Buzz WordGiuseppe Zanotti Designlaunches its AutumnWinter Collection“Praising Imperfections”t’s to the woman who knows how to make a virtueI of her faults that Giuseppe Zanotti Design’s new Fall/Winter collection is dedicated to. The woman who usesher looks as a weapon of seduction, not to provoke,but to support bold statements. The woman whochooses accessories irrationally, dismissive of colorsand proportions, attracted by the creative vibes. Tothese women Giuseppe Zanotti says, ‘Here are theingredients, my shoes; do whatyou will. Construct your stylearound them, use them to expressyour own world, to enhance yourcontradictions’.Chromatic codes are setaside, as colors are uncontainableelectric particles, so toes areunrestrained and decorative detailing is irreverent.The inspiration? It comes from Helmut Newton’s black& white portraits of women: proud, magnificent andtimeless. And from the atmosphere of Paris in the ’80s,from the shop windows on Place des Victoires.Giuseppe Zanotti Design has infused these memorieswith a punk/rock´n´roll twist, creating low ankle bootswith zipped turn down cuffs, after the style of thePerfecto biker jacket; rhinestones appear as studs andendow precious cowboy-style boots with amazingsparkle: 6000 tiny crystals meticulously applied by hand,one by one. Contrasts, sharp edges, a distinct “break”between heels and uppers and “wrong” shapes that do,however, capture the reflections of the faceted stones.It’s a collection that numbers some 800 shoes. Atopposite poles, a new classic & chic loafer and a sexy,sky-high shoe. Somewhere in the middle lie themost iconic pieces, like the Beatle ankleboots proposed in three surprising colors,flaunting an ultra-feminine look.There are also the pink open booties.In this model, romantic embroideryembraces the leg like an oriental tattooand is as light as a stocking. But the realcult piece of the collection is a new courtshoe: a weapon of seduction that wasinspired by a desire to rework atimeless classic.Giordano featuresartworks from Mawaheb’sartists with special needs- Artists designed limited edition artworksexclusively for GiordanoGiordano, one of the world’s leading internationalapparel retailers with 226 stores across the region,partnered with Mawaheb to give its students theopportunity to showcase their artistic talent.
