Gianvito Rossi Global
Quality
“The greatest attention to quality, in design and craftsmanship, and the continuous pursue for its improvement”.
For this reason, maximum care is taken in the selection of the highest quality materials, as well as the handicraft that defines every silhouette. In the Gianvito Rossi headquarters, each shape is optimized by a meticulous process in which all details are studied in depth. Each creation has a life of its own, which is honoured by the most excellent quality.
Materials are lush and precious: delicate satin, soft suede, fine velvet, sumptuous leather, mirrored calfskin, soft, sheer organza, as well as exotic skins enhance the beauty of every style.
Numerous steps are needed to create a shoe, and each one is as precious as the next. From the cutting of the leather, which is carried-out piece by piece to avoid imperfections, to the stitching of the shoe, where leather pieces are assembled in a slow fashion to ensure that every detail is millimetre perfect. After spending twenty-four hours in its mold, the finishing touches are rigorsans.
The extreme attention to detail and the respect of the traditional savoir-faire are the starting and finishing point of Gianvito Rossi’s highly luxurious designs, one-of-a-kind creations to be cherished through time.
Each and every step is as delicate as decisive in the creation of the most elegant shoe
THE LAST
Everything starts from the last, the basic structure around which the shoe is built.
A sculpture that merges two distinct elements: the shape of the foot, defined by the height of the desired heel, and the shape of the toe, which can be pointed, round or squared, and many other infinite solutions.
THE SILHOUETTE
Creating the silhouette is the next step: the simplicity and elegance of a pump requires the utmost care in its design.
A single shape embraces the foot: a very delicate balance between a low neckline, that barely shows the toes, and the skill to hold the foot securely.
THE HEEL
The heel is the key element, the iconic component of the pump.
There is a rhythm in the design of each pump, and there must be a harmony between all of the elements.
Materials largely determine the quality, great care in selecting the best materials translates into the pleasure of touching a supple leather in a beautiful colour.
CRAFTMANSHIP
The construction of the perfect pump is the result of a long history of craftsmanship and experience. This complex process, which requires many experienced hands, evolves around the notion of producing a light, sophisticated and modern creation.
The finishing touch is very important: the shoe is brushed, stroked, and given a light make-up.
Finally, the pump is delicately secured in its box with the care of great artisan hands, and begins its journey towards its soulmate, somewhere in the world.
