General info :
Giuseppe Zanotti Design is the brand name used by Vicini SpA, an Italian luxury footwear and fashion design company founded by Giuseppe Zanotti and known for its sculptural, jeweled heels, luxury sneakers, handbags, jewelry, and leather ready-to-wear.

Vicini SpA manufactures the eponymous label, distributed in 75 countries worldwide through a network of directly operated boutiques, franchisees and luxury retailers.

In the 1980s, Zanotti decided to pursue a career in making women's shoes. His initial foray was as a freelance designer, working his way to recognizable fashion houses.

By the early 1990s, Zanotti wanted to branch out on his own and create a distinct style of footwear, particularly ornate with oversized crystals and stones usually used in the manufacturing of bijoux jewelry.

He acquired the Vicini shoe factory located in his hometown of San Mauro Pascoli and set about recasting the small company. He moved his style team there and implemented new departments specialized in producing heels and ornamental jewels.

In 1994, Zanotti traveled to New York City to present his first Giuseppe Zanotti collection to a select group of fashion editors and retailers. Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Barneys New York were among the first luxury retailers to pick up the collection and remain retailers of the brand today, along with retailers like Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, among others.

The first Giuseppe Zanotti boutique opened in Milan in 2000, followed by additional stores in New York City, Paris, London, Moscow, Hong Kong, Miami, Los Angeles and Saint Tropez. In 2016, Giuseppe Zanotti celebrated the opening of its 100th store, at IFC in Shanghai.

Vicini SpA, which started as a small manufacturing entity, today counts five company-owned factories specialized in all the phases of luxury shoe making and employees 650 people who help to produce more than 600,000 pairs of shoes annually.

In late 2010, Zanotti also presented his first jewelry collection.

As of 2021 the website www.giuseppezanottidesign.com redirects to www.giuseppezanotti.com and on the website the new brand name omits the "Design" part, thus using only the eponymous name "Giuseppe Zanotti".
