Flair Magazine I see killer heels, feminine flats and what we all thought were the bygone wedged sneakers. Could they really be making a comeback? Well, I guess if the designers are shoe mogul Zanotti and super-sexy, singer JLO then YASSS!
The much awaited collaboration between world-renowned Italian designer Giuseppe Zanotti and global superstar and style icon Jennifer Lopez is officially here and let me tell you, its very JLO. “With Giuseppe, we created an ultra-modern, feminine collection of killer heels, sexy flats and fashion-forward sneakers. And as you would expect, there’s just the right amount of sparkle,” says Jennifer Lopez.
Last month the fashion world did a double take when the very appropriately hashtagged #GiuseppexJennifer six- piece collection launched. It was everything one would expect from this magical duo.
“It feels like me, it feels like you—it’s the perfect collaboration,” says Jennifer Lopez in a clip which gives a glimpse into the pairs working relationship, which does seem pretty perfect. “I’ve always loved how Jennifer wears my shoes and admired her innate sense of style,” says Giuseppe Zanotti.
Could this partnership have been a no brainer then?
“More than a muse, Jennifer was a great design partner and this collection really represents a strong, sensual, sophisticated woman-just like Jennifer,” adds Zanotti. Longtime admirers of each other’s work and style, the two talents began working last summer on the contemporary collection that melds Jennifer Lopez’s signature style with Giuseppe Zanotti’s iconic design codes. “I, like so many other women, love a great pair of shoes,” says Jennifer. “Whether I’m walking the red carpet, performing on stage or meeting my girls for lunch on a day off, shoes pull a look together and literally and figuratively lift me up”.
Throughout the collection we get a good sense of what JLO likes and doesnt like in a shoe. “That color will be amazing,” Lopez says in the clip as she points to a swatch of gold leather. “I like the height—it’s nice and high, but comfy,” she says trying on a spectacular strappy pair of python knee-high sandals. “A little metal plate with something special,” Lopez suggests for a tiny hint of glint at the sole of the shoes.
If the six pieces are anything to go by we can see that Ms. Lopez isnt a big fan of chunky heels or any shoe that feels and looks heavy. In fact whats on offer is pretty sleek, refined, and feminine… with a bit (or a lot) of sparkle. Cast in a modern color palette of cool grays, warm taupes, navy blue and pretty pastels and crafted in luxury materials, like suede, satin, printed leather and all-over crystal, the line-up features very distinct models.
“For me a shoe is more than an accessory, its like a precious, beautiful piece of art,” says Giuseppe Zanotti, “a fine jewel that can transform the woman wearing it”.
That’s what fashion magic is! A stiletto fantasy.
