Just call him the shoe chef.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“This is my kitchen and I like to play with different ingredients,” said Giuseppe Zanotti, during an interview in his stylish Via Montenapoleone showroom during Milan Fashion Week. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the designer marks 30 years <\/a>of his namesake label, he is looking back with a special capsule collection focusing on the iconic Ring sandal, a key style from the beginning. The look is reinterpreted in a classic flat and new block heel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For spring ’25, the designer also explored his love of jewelry shoes, using an oversized gold nugget to decorate pumps and sandals. The ornamentation helps modernize the classic pump, according to the designer. “I like to create a fusion between shoes and accessories,” Zanotti said. “The gold nuggets with the open toe and block heel, for me it’s my ideal pump.”<\/p>\n

Zanotti also showed off a sexy sandal, defined by its geometric lines and ’80’s aesthetic. “I love to do shoes that are seasonless and fashionless,” he said. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the spring ’25 collection, details define the assortment \u2014 from delicate metal flowers to glittering crystals to gold dome plates. The signature pointed-toe Intriigo silhouette is updated with hand-woven leather knots, while ballerinas go from day to night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As he cooks up his next collection, Zanotti is expanding his retail presence with a new space at Milan’s Rinascente department store. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This fall, the designer has also gotten a boost from none other than Taylor Swift, who wore his over-the-knee boots to two Kansas City Chiefs games<\/a> in September. Zanotti said he’s proud to have worked with the songstress since the beginning of her career, but seeing her step out in his shoes time and again next gets old. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“She goes everywhere in these boots,” he said. “I’m so happy!”<\/p>\n
