Before I show you two photo's of 2 different pairs of boots by this O so talented man, here's a brief history on this genius' past and how he came to be one of the world's most famous and talked about designers.
Zanotti was born in San Mauro Pascoll, an Adriatic town with a long tradition of shoemaking. He has been working on his masterpieces for over twenty years, beginning as a design apprentice before making a name for himself as a footwear designer for Italian and international companies. After a long time working under other peoples orders, he finally decided to try his hand in his own business.
The uniqueness of Giuseppe Zanotti's pumps, sandals and boots are that they consummate synthesis of design awareness and quality.
“design awareness keeps you up to speed with the major trends that, season after season, dominate the worlds of ready to wear and haute couture; and it's also important for building up a repertory of ideas and images taken from music videos, from art, the cinema, from design, in short from everything which reflects changing fashions,” explains Zanotti. “Technique and taste work in a reciprocal relationship, allowing all these ideas to come together.”
Another very important quote by the designer, that might just be what makes him so modern and different from any other-
“The way the shoe is crafted is essential for its success, without the skills of the shoemaker the collection can never take form.”
Now, finally, enjoy two of my favorite Giuseppe Zanotti boots from his Fall/Winter season:
