Gianvito Rossi, the visionary behind the luxury footwear brand that bears his name, transcends the boundaries of both shoe and jewelry design in his latest collection. His creations are not just shoes; they are exquisite objets d’art that empower and beautify the women who wear them.
For his latest season, Rossi draws inspiration from the grandeur of imperial Rome, infusing his designs with the timeless allure of silver and gold. Each piece in the collection reflects his meticulous attention to detail. For example, laurels, ancient symbols of victory, gracefully climb up the shins on flat gladiator sandals, enveloping the leg in a radiant golden embrace. These laurels also adorn pointed sandals, adding a touch of opulence to the footwear. Rossi pays homage to the leather bracelets worn in ancient Rome by crafting metallic stiletto-heeled sandals that strike a perfect balance between strength and femininity. To further elevate the collection, a precious 3D leather flower with a metallic finish lends a fresh and captivating charm to the brand’s most beloved mules.
Rossi’s signature style, characterized by the fusion of fragility and strength, is evident throughout the collection. It is showcased in the gladiator and chunky wedge sandals, both featuring oversized rounded buckles that make a bold statement. Additionally, the collection includes more understated models in delicate hues, such as graceful flat shoes adorned with elegant buckles and low-heel slingbacks with elasticated leather straps, designed for both functionality and comfort.
With a revenue projection of nearly €100 million in the current fiscal year, Gianvito Rossi has solidified its position as a leading luxury brand. Two months ago, the brand strategically partnered with the Richemont group, a move that aligns with their shared vision of expanding Gianvito Rossi’s direct retail presence. Currently boasting 39 stores, the brand is set to expand its footprint in Europe with new locations in Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands. In addition to its European expansion, the brand is making strides in Asia, having recently opened stores in Shenzhen and Hanoi. The Middle East is also on the horizon, with upcoming store openings planned in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
