Jennifer Lopez On Her Shoe Heaven

Giuseppe Zanotti is known for his high-wattage, super-sexy shoes, but what happened when he collaborated with the queen of high-wattage, super-sexy style, Jennifer Lopez? Did two positives make a negative? Did the union of the forces of uber-feminine sparkle actually create a sensible understated flat brogue? Of course not.

"We wanted to delight our customers with designs that exude Jennifer’s essence of a modern woman – strong yet feminine, elegant and playfully sexy," Zanotti told us. "It is exactly the refined strength, contemporary attitude and energy which we wanted to express through creating this collection."

"These shoes can make any woman feel fierce, confident and sexy," Lopez added. "My favourite pair changes almost daily, but today I’m obsessing over the Emme High. It’s no secret I love animal prints and this pink python is sexy and modern. I also love gladiator or lace-up heels and this one hits at the perfect part of the shin - it's wearable with so many different shapes. This shoe is fearless and beautiful."


Zanotti made headlines recently for a collaboration with Zayn Malik, and the link-up with Lopez is done in the same vein: a collection created with a star with whom he feels an affinity. Lopez is a loyal client, wearing Zanotti's shoes both on and off duty - just one of many stars whose feet he has dressed over the years.

"I remember the very first moment like it was yesterday when Madonna wore a pair of my sandals in one of her music videos, it made me feel very excited," Zanotti recalled fondly. "Twenty years on many celebrities have come to love and wear my designs, and the thrill is still there for me after all this time."

Lopez has shoe labels lining up to offer her heels one would imagine - and her signature style certainly involves a heel, hence the scarcity of flats in the collaboration - so what shoes would she never set her foot in?

"I’m not a big fan of chunky heels or any shoes that feel and look heavy. I love sleek, refined, and feminine, with a bit of sparkle."

A pretty accurate description of what the twosome have created, which is just one of the reasons that this collection may not be a one-off.

"There was so much natural synergy and enthusiasm between us throughout the creative process, we could not stop talking for hours," Zanotti said. "Jennifer has been a dream to work with and it would be fantastic to join creative forces with her to produce another exciting collection inspired by her unique style and energy."
