A person never knows when or why an inspiring time will trigger an idea: looking at a painting, hearing a piece of music or from a TMI moment.

Giuseppe Zanotti’s Fall Men’s shoes are based on his interpretation of dandyism, Footwear designs that are formal, athletic, and night life. I saw rich subtle with touches of bling in Milan, loafers, sneakers, slip-ons were the core items of the collection. Essentially it’s just shoes for men who want look sharp. Silks, suedes, velvets, were mixed in the form of hi-tops, moccasins, and low-outs. Zanotti does not push the envelope instead he makes a turn with his imprints of tassels and embroidery.
