Giuseppe Zanotti celebrates 20 years

Italian shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti celebrated 20 years in the industry last month with an invite-only dinner in New York. That sort of experience puts Zanotti up with some of the leading names in the shoe design business. You can check out some of our coverage of Zanotti’s work over the past few years in our dedicated archive page.

Meanwhile, the designer shows no sign of slowing down – indeed, he’s in the prime of his career. Recent additions to the Giuseppe Zanotti collection are made to ensure the wearer discovers the “power of essentiality,” simplifying the high heel sandal to its very essence.  The varnished-effect leather slingbacks have a 4 inch heel and retail for €540 from the Giuseppe Zanotti website.

A similar version of the heels but with an even sexier 5 inch stiletto is shown below. Fast-acting buyers were not deterred by the €570 price tag, and sadly this black patent sandal with peach patent trim is currently sold out at Zanotti’s website.
