Geschiedenis
Giuseppe Zanotti founded his namesake brand in 1994 in San Mauro Pascoli, Italy, after acquiring the Vicini shoe factory. He transitioned from a freelance designer for fashion houses to an independent couturier to maintain creative control over production. The brand gained significance for its fusion of traditional Italian shoemaking with streetwear elements, notably through its luxury sneakers. It remains a fixture in red carpet fashion and has collaborated with various musicians and designers.
