The Giuseppe Zanotti Fall Winter 2013/2014 Collection is a suggestion of Rock. Hurtling back to the future, it conjures a variegated mood, a suspended moment in time, rich in contrast. The era straddling Bowie and the Sex Pistols. A no man’s land, separating the theatricality of glam rock and the uncouthness of the punk generation. Deliberately edgy and proudly anti-establishment.
Here incompatibility becomes style. Preppy pumps sport an almost protective metal strip. The gold plate on Peter Pan-style ankle boots is almost overplayed on soft, unlined leather: yet the disproportion is deliberate. Raw, almost masculine materials are emblazoned with gold maxi-zips. Colors blend in mixed marriages: leopard-print pumps flaunt a Persian blue toe. The icons are Ziggy Stardust, Veruschka in Blow-up and Jane Birkin. Post-70s velvet clogs are dynamic, ultra-modern and very harmonious. Summer, winter: who cares? Make way for peep-toe boots in soft leather with a used look: like great multitasking sandals embellished with maxi-zips.
Rouched booties are made in “sprayed” leather for a Camden Town look. Directly from Portobello instead, red ankle boots are a revisited and refined classic. Alternatively, the bold version shows off gold buckles. Inspired by the past yet totally new, the ankle boots with inside wedge, rear zip and round heel with a gold metal plate: the elongated toe puts proportions back on the agenda.
An even more precious compilation. Zanotti beyond Zanotti. But until it reaches the stores, it is a job only half done. Therein lies the wonder: it is women, with their personality and style, who will bring it to life, demanding continuous changes of scenery.
