GIANVITO ROSSI SPRING SUMMER 2018
An overt sensuality inspired by the lingerie world rings through the Gianvito Rossi Spring Summer 2018 collection where a fetish undertone and intriguing transparencies define the new season. The ultimate expression of seduction, the shoes become statement pieces that reveal and expose a woman’s more intimate side with class and sass.
A well-defined message that starts with an exclusive array of materials – stretch lace, mesh, Plexiglas and Latex – matched to, or alternated with leather, suede and stretch satin.
In signature Gianvito Rossi style, the silhouettes are clean, lean and graphic with a predominance of towering stiletto heels and pointy toes, the latter are also used on sandals and mules creating an unexpected new silhouette.
Mules, sandals, pumps, booties and boots dominate the offering for a round-the-clock elegance. Here and there, dainty bows, feathers and rhinestone buckles provide an extra touch of modern glamour. The color palette features an abundance of white, black, blush and sparks of red, purple and fuchsia, plus flashes of silver and gold.
Embroidered lace, at times fused on a mesh base, sets the mood, whether wrapped around the ankle on the Halle cuffed sandals, on lace-up booties, or slithering all the way up to the knee and beyond on the sexy cut-out Isabella boots. On the scalloped open-toe Missy or pointy Brinn bootie, black and red lace create an on-trend sock effect, like the one obtained with black mesh inserted inside the Idol ankle-strap sandal.
Latex is combined with patent leather, again as an ankle detail or on the open-toe laced-up Ree ankle boot, setting off a high-impact contrast both in terms of colors and textures. True to its name, the G-String sandals are crafted with thin strips of leather matched to see-through Plexi for an inventive nude effect. A combination of innuendo and elegance for strong-minded women who are not afraid to show their sensual side.
Gianvito Rossi is available in Rustan’s.
