Gianni Barbato S/S 2010: Summer Boots

Who have made it up that boots and booties are good only for cold seasons? Actually, nobody has ever affirmed the idea. On the contrary, now we have a shoe designer who has decided to face the unfair opinion and turn it upside down. I am talking about Gianni Barbato who has got tired of centuries old stereotypes and presented in his new shoe collection a mixture of all seasons. Let’s take a look at some shoe models presented in the collection.

The line comprises a vast range of booties and boots designed specially for warm weather. You can see here a designer decision that brings a shoe industry to a whole new level. This concept is hard to accept because we have got used to traditional shoe models and styles. That is why Gianni Barbato shoes have become a revolution in its sphere. Besides, there are shoes in the collection that can be considered real works of art. Let’s take, for example, these boots - sandals. They combine black laces, sheer material reminding a veil that girdles a leg tightly. What is more, the boot features a beautiful, unusual gilded heel and a platform. The toe and heel part are also cover with gilded material that goes along the leg up to the upper part. Gianni Barbato’s imagination can work miracles - the designer did not confine himself to unprecedented design but added extravagant details creating a real work of art.

Another shoe model that can be exposed at the art gallery is elegant booties. They feature the same futuristic platform with amazing heel as the previous model. But it is black and not girdled. The bootie has no bright colors and fancy details. It is elegant, strict, and sophisticated. Delicate embroidery goes along the whole surface creating beautiful pattern. I swear that I have never seen anything like this before.
