What people generally know about Ferragamo brand is only their Vara style (short black heel in the picture). But Ferragamo's contribution to the history of shoes goes far beyond this.
Salvato Le Ferragamo 1898 was born in a poor family. Because my sister was going to a Catholic ceremony, but she couldn't afford shoes, Ferragamo borrowed some materials from a shoemaker and made her a pair of shoes. Since then, he has started the road of making shoes. /kloc-When he was 0/6 years old, he went to America, where he made shoes for many Hollywood stars. Ferragamo has been working on how to improve the comfort of shoes. Ferragamo designed more than 350 patents in his life, the most famous of which are CorkWedge and InvisibleSandal. The former was used for reference by many brands, and the latter helped Ferragamo win NeimanMarcus, which is known as the Oscar in the shoe industry.
Giuseppe zanotti: High and bold, full of domineering.
GZ brand is also very popular in China now. GiuseppeZanotti was born in the Italian town of SanMauroPascoli, a town with a glorious history of shoemaking. Many top Italian brands (such as SergioRossi and GianvitoRossi) originated here. Perhaps influenced by the environment since childhood, young zanotti gave up his job as a DJ and decided to become a shoe designer. He has designed shoes for Valentino, Dior and Robert Cavoli. Until 20 years ago, he bought a shoe factory in vicini in the town where he was born and started to build his own brand. His shoe factory is still there.
Equally domineering, of course, is his design. Every pair of his shoes is great. He often uses metal with cowhide. For example, his most popular casual shoes in China, with large pieces of golden metal in sharp contrast with leather or suede uppers, make people shine at the moment.
Besides metal pieces, zanotti is also good at decorating shoes with metal carvings. In the style shown below, zanotti placed many delicate leaves on the straps of his feet, which made the ordinary black high-heeled shoes shine brilliantly and exude a distinctive noble temperament.
It is worth mentioning that GiuseppeZanotti's women's shoes are narrow. Because Zanotti thinks that women's feet should be narrow, his shoe last is narrower than that of other families (I will tell you about the composition of shoes next time, but the shoe last is a foot mold for shoe molding).
SergioRossi: noble and beautiful.
SergioRossi's shoes really make people want to cry. Next to the Spanish Square in Rome, there is a SergioRossi store, and their most classic diamond-encrusted mermaid is displayed in the window. It is this mermaid that makes hundreds of tourists stop and hold their breath every day, and even men can't help taking pictures of it.
