Guiseppe Zanotti at the feet of a gigglingly girlish Eva Mendes. This was the scene at The Ritz in Paris as celebrities and socialites converged to win favour with Zanotti. In the Cinderella-Celebrity factory, this equation is usually the other way around. Not for Zanotti. Seems as though celebs are now courting him in the delicate art of “Make Me Your Muse”. Since designing the “Fish Shoe” famously worn by Samantha in the recent Sex and The City film, this cult-hit shoe designer is on every fashion-obsessed celeb’s radar.

Zanotti is a wonderful throwback to the days when shoe designers played towards luxury and fantasy in their work. His recent flight of fancy as evidenced in his summer collection is reminiscent Roger Vivier, Andre Perugia, Rene Coavilla.

In addition, designer extraordinaries Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler will be teaming up with Zanotti to create a full collection of Proenza Schouler women’s footwear. The first installment of shoes hit stores just in time for resort season. The entire collection will release in September for the Spring ‘09 season. ShoeMinx cannot contain her excitement for the New Sexy Shoemakers Alliance!

As ShoeMinx is a huge fan of rebellious modern muse and up-and-coming designer Lou Doillon; nice to see her cozying up to Zanotti. Perhaps a prelude to the next hot collaborative relationship in fashion?

Sex and the City Shoe Frenzy

Sex and The City: a shoe-a-holic’s and fashionista’s dream for this season’s fashions

When it comes to choosing brands, costume designer Pat Field has said, “It’s really about the piece, how it incorporates into the scene and with the character herself.” This Proenza Schouler pair fit right in as Carrie returns books to the library. The movie takes place over changing seasons, so we get to see our heroines in everything from sandals to sandals over socks to peep-toes to booties!
