ISSIMO X Aquazzura: The Perfect Sole Mates

ISSIMO and Aquazzura presents their exclusive summer capsule collection, designed and curated by Edgardo Osorio, Aquazzura Founder and Creative Director, together with Marie-Louise Sciò, Creative Director and CEO of Pellicano Hotels and founder of ISSIMO.

Exuding a modern, alluring elegance, Aquazzura’s footwear has become instantly iconic since their debut in 2012. Exquisitely handmade in Italy with a particular focus on comfort and wearability, Edgardo Osorio’s creations combine luxury and craftsmanship with an innovative design, sophisticated embellishments, and vibrant colour palettes. As such, it pairs perfectly with the mission of ISSIMO and celebrates Italian excellence and beauty.

Featuring a gorgeous silk satin mule with a retro spool heel and four straps that unite and create a central knot, the limited-edition line is a reflection of timeless Mediterranean elegance. Available in three fresh colour variations inspired by the lush landscapes of the Italian coast – bougainvillea purple, lemon yellow and tangerine orange – it’s the perfect sandal to delve into summer and look the part, whether you’re beach-bound or intent on a sunny city break.

Commenting on the partnership, Marie-Louise Sciò said: ”We celebrate Italian excellence on ISSIMO, and Aquazzura is among the greatest. I wanted to create a collection that is elegant and fun, one that is versatile, easy to wear and that channels beautiful Italian summers.”

”Issimo for me it’s the modern Dolce Vita edit in a website. It’s everything that we love and is cool about Italy done with the elegant eye of Marie-Louise. I’m also a fan of Pellicano and all of the group’s hotel so when thinking a shoe for our collab I dreamed of something retro Italian-chic done in a modern way,” Edgardo Osorio.

This exclusive collection is available on www.aquazzura.com and www.issimoissimo.com.

ABOUT AQUAZZURA

Exuding a modern, alluring elegance, Aquazzura’s footwear collections have become instantly iconic since their debut in 2012. Exquisitely handmade in Italy with a particular focus on comfort and wearability, Edgardo Osorio’s creations combine luxury and craftsmanship with an innovative design, sophisticated embellishments, and vibrant colour palettes.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the brand: a decade of extraordinary successes defined by a new sophisticated femininity that has immediately gained international recognition. The Creative Director and Founder Edgardo Osorio - a life spent living between Colombia, Miami and London working for prestigious fashion houses - decided to establish his own brand in Florence, heart of Italian art and capital of the best shoemakers and artisans. Edgardo’s dream business idea came to life inside the spectacular setting of Palazzo Corsini, Aquazzura’s headquarters, starting a ten-year journey of pure creativity and love for Italian savoir-faire, through the combination of traditional techniques and luxurious materials.

From the signature seasonal collections to exclusive collaborations and bespoke creations, Aquazzura’s styles have been worn by the likes of Hollywood stars such as Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman, Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Dua Lipa among many others, and royalties including HRH the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle, Queen Rania of Jordan, and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands.
