After a period marked with new store openings in Cannes, Paris, Moscow, Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore and Dubai, Giuseppe Zanotti Design has opened its first store in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – located at Stars Avenue, Jeddah.
Giuseppe Zanotti currently operates in the UAE and Bahrain through exclusive franchise partners Al Tayer Insignia, a company of Al Tayer Group.
The 74 sq. mts. store’s interior design is consistent with the other flagship stores all around the world, and is decorated according to the new brand concept. Luxurious materials like twisted leather lining the wall, wooden paneling, bronze plated brass, very bright lacquers in natural cream and dove shades, and one striking Murano crystal chandelier, combine to create to a warm and stylish environment, which is as elegant as the products that are on display.
The San Mauro Pascoli-based shoe designer has created his signature glamorous, whimsical designs for over 30 years. What makes his collections unique is their consummate synthesis of design awareness and quality: “design awareness keeps you up to speed with the major trends that, season after season, dominate the worlds of ready to wear and haute couture; and it's also important for building up a repository of ideas and images taken from music videos, from art, the cinema, from design, in short from everything which reflects changing fashions,” explains Zanotti.
“In fact I am so glad to be able to finally open a store of mine in KSA and particularly in Jeddah, where I’ve always wanted to be. This is because the Arabic culture and its search for beauty trail back millenniums and I have been always intrigued by that”.
Giuseppe Zanotti’s ultra-modern designs have been worn by some of the world’s most glamorous style icons including Jennifer Lopez, Kylie Minogue, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz.
