The Italian shoemaker has enlisted the Korean pop star to put his stylish touch on a pair of shoes

 

Perhaps in a move to capitalise on the growing popularity of Korean style in the Asian marketplace, leading Italian shoemaker Giuseppe Zanotti, who has collaborated with the likes of Kanye West, has turned his focus to Asia and teamed up with G-Dragon, the leading K-Pop star who has become a notable style icon in the Asian community.

Essentially, the collaboration represents a renewed effort from Zanotti to create a collection that mixes Eastern and Western style sensibilities, introducing a collection that is both refined with an urban edge, where the attitude of punk, rock ‘n’ roll, and hip hop is articulated into the playful design of each shoe.

G-Dragon is often praised for his style and the collection reflects Zanotti and G-Dragon’s shared style sensibilities which is to create fashion rules rather than follow them. The collection consists of two pairs of shoes, in a loafer and lace up style awash with black and multi-colour glitter, available for both men and women.

The Giuseppe Zanotti x G-Dragon collection will be available in all Giuseppe Zanotti boutiques next month
