Giuseppe Zanotti has always been one of my favorite, favorite, favorite shoe brands (too many favorites? NEVER :)).
And I was wowed away again when its 2013 Spring/Summer collection was revealed; here I have chosen some of my favorites (almost everything!) to share with you.
Be ready to get blown away by style!
The collection is all about Africa: its energy, its symbols, and its colors. There’s music for one, and the soulful sounds of the early funk groups celebrating African influences and culture.
Giuseppe Zanotti Design Spring/Summer 2013
Heels and Sandals
Metal: You can definitely see a lot of fine metal details in this collection. The mega fringes have a tribal feel, like a light, sinuous dance evoking images of Verouschka by Franco Rubartelli.
Rings in particular, are used to fabricate exquisite anklets or even more primordial influences, which are reflected in the disproportionate flames on the fire-wing sandals (I am really obsessed with this pair!!!).
The powerful style is softened by materials like suede and the leathers used are rough and matte.
Warm, natural shades instill a feeling of harmony, from the light of a Serengeti sunset and the rusty hues of sun-scorched earth to hints of gold for an ethno-glam African Queen.
Sneakers
The sneakers evoke a world of street art couture in which moods can be expressed as they come and go, and with the same freedom as an artist poised to paint a blank canvas.
The mood is set by clever color effects on rusted laminates, finished with rough gold studs and matching luxury zips, and fashioned from soft, savannah-colored leathers.
Take your pick, but just don’t pick the white one. Coz it’s mine!!!
Jewelry
Summer jewelry has an African wild culture theme, with animal bone details reproduced to create bracelets, necklaces and rings.
The cult season piece is the gold bra body belt.
I am also digging the gold metal rings and bracelets.
Bags
The studded, nappa hand clutches come in beguiling small and medium sizes. But the statement impact does not vary in sizes! It’s your IT bag if FIERCE is how you describe your style.
CROC BACKPACK – a soft, roomy African-inspired bag in exotic, golden leathers. Another statement piece that stands for The African Queen theme.
Fringes and suede in warm, earthy shades are the defining features in the daytime versions.
Giuseppe Homme
Loafer, loafer and loafer.
The new SS 2013 Giuseppe Homme lounge shoe comes in suede, nappa, crocodile and camouflage. The untreated calfskin flat sandals are raw cut and simply luxurious.
I wonder if they have these in smaller sizes for women, as I can totally see myself in them. Especially the black suede one with the gold metal bow-tie.
