Giuseppe Zanotti is an Italian shoe brand that constantly sets out to move, shake, and dismantle the fashion world with its diverse styles and statement shoes that never seem to be outrageous or overdone.

Its Spring/Summer 2013 collection presented covetable designs that focused on textures, metallic elements, and intricate details. The trend-setting collection showcased shoes that were eclectic yet sophisticated — shoes that were meant to infuse fun into otherwise ordinary ensembles.

Polish model and Giuseppe Zanotti muse Anja Rubik was the face of the label for its Spring/Summer 2013 advertising campaign. Photographer Karim Sadli shot the ads in Paris, where Anja modeled the brand’s fabulous shoes, such as the black suede cage sandals that Jessica Alba was spotted wearing at Spike TV’s 2012 Video Game Awards.

The brand’s Fall/Winter 2013–2014 collection features head-turning designs with a multitude of embellishments, animal prints, and gold studs. Great emphasis is still placed on textures with shoes featuring calf hair and suede, which are perfect for autumn and winter. It presents a variety of boots, studded pumps, fur-trimmed shoes, and embellished sandals with higher heels than those from the previous collection, as well as a rocker-chic vibe.

Anja Rubik returned for a seventh season with Giuseppe Zanotti for this latest collection’s advertising campaign, which was shot in black and white on the streets of London by Karim Sadli. Anja looks effortlessly cool in the ads as she shows off the brand’s latest show-stoppers, which have been seen on Emma Watson, Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez, and Julianne Hough.
