GIOVANNA ZANELLA
CASTELLO 5641 30122 Venezia
Giovanna Zanella creates exclusive hand-made and tailored shoes for men and women. Every item of footwear, as the artisan expresses, has its own unique and unrepeatable character.
For ten years Giovanna has created shoes in her workshop near the Rialto Bridge in Venice. Boots, sandals, slippers, moccasins and heels: models inspired by delicate fantasies or by the great classics, revisited in different materials and colours.
The lines employed by Giovanna blend of elegance and sensuality, simplicity and risk. Why do we not imagine a pair of shoes as a whole, rather than as two single shoes? Giovanna answers with bold asymmetry and opportunities for unpredictable complementarities.
Originality and comfort are combined in each model. Behind each shoe there is a meticulous study of the materials. Giovanna's materials range from leather and hides, to textiles and plastic, playing with tradition and modernity.
