Gianvito Rossi Shoes

Shoebunny spotted Halle Berry in Gianvito Rossi sandals.

This is style “cod. GG3725″ from the Gianvito Rossi Carbon Collection, the metal karung sandals with carbon fiber sole.

In recent months Shoebunny has spotted some more celebs in Gianvito Rossi shoes: Gwyenth Paltrow (bootie sandals) and Carey Mulligan (ribbon organza sandals).

To better understand Gianvito Rossi enjoy the following excerpt from press release of his spring/summer 2010 collection:

An emphasis on lightness. The lightness of materials, colours and forms. Mischievous sensuality. For a woman that is part warrior, part mistress of seduction,
today the hunter, tomorrow the hunted. A mysterious female figure that loves to reveal herself little by little and use her sinuous elegance to make her conquests.
This is the female image, one of charm and sophistication, that inspires the spring-summer 2010 Gianvito Rossi footwear. Boasting a highly feminine look, they collect their evidence by gradually revealing themselves in a game of transparencies, natural shades and softness. Distinctive for their tapered silhouettes, often without platform and with thin heels, they seem to have taken their inspiration from the world of high quality lingerie. Seductive and chic above all else.

And this is what Gianvito says about his exclusive carbon-fibre sandals:

Ultra light, tall, linear, sinuous design.

The new carbon-fibre sandal symbolizes an unequalled combination of technology and luxury, in an accessory that has always been hallmarked by the use of ultramodern materials and quality leather.

Lightness is the concept that underpins this project. Lightness in terms of both materials and appearance.

Carbon fibre, created for aerospace technology and adopted for use in the sports sector – for example, in Formula 1 racing cars – is a high-tech, ultra-strong material, a network of fibres immersed in a resin which then solidifies to create a composite substance of insuperable qualities. The carbon fibre used for the creation of this unique, exclusive sandal is worked by means of a hand-crafting process: the assembly of the sole is entirely performed by hand, by the same craftsmen who create the most sophisticated components of top Italian cars and motorbikes.

The construction, volumes and colours of the carbon-fibre sandal all help express the concept of pure design and a method of production that enhances practicality, comfort and style. Stable and light, the carbon-fibre sandal weighs just 100 grams, it is protected by an international patent, and it will be included in every Gianvito Rossi collection as an ever-present model, made in a number of versions for wear during the day and for the evening, hallmarked by an artful combination of narrow straps and the essential stiletto heels.
