Label Text:Giuseppe Zanotti was born in the Italian village of San Mauro Pascoli, an area known for its shoemaking traditions. Looking back at the twenty years of his brand, Zanotti stated, “You cannot design shoes if you only think about fashion. It's too realistic. When I design, I dream.” His design philosophy is evident in the whimsical nature of these butterfly-themed strappy heels.
