GIANVITO ROSSI CELEBRATES THE ICONIC PORTOFINO SANDAL’S

Ten years, ten colors in elegant metallic-effect leather for a limited-edition collection: this April marks the 10th anniversary of the iconic sandal that was created and launched by Gianvito Rossi in 2014.

The new limited-edition styles of this signature sandal will be exclusively available in selected boutiques of the brand in Europe and USA, and on the brand’s e-commerce.
On this special occasion, the Portofino sandal – specifically, the 85mm and 105mm stiletto heel options – have been reinterpreted in ten new nuances inspired by the colors of the city.

Gianvito Rossi

Worn by celebrities all over the world for their red carpets looks, Portofino expresses the quintessence of Gianvito Rossi's approach to design and still ranks among the brand’s best-sellers. Crafted in Italy following the highest artisanal principles, this style was originally created by Gianvito after a weekend in Portofino. The Ligurian Riviera’s jewel is the epitome of Italian lifestyle, whose refinement is expressed through purely essential design and high quality.

Back in 2014, the designer interpreted the archetype of a simple sandal by restructuring the front upper and the ankle strap with modern proportions. Its minimalist lines still reflect an elegance that goes beyond seasons and trends.

A timeless signature style, whose future is yet to be written.
“The Portofino sandal embodies the essence of my vision: beauty in simplicity and quality, as well as in the attention to proportions. Its design is conceived to enhance a woman's silhouette rather than prevail over her. After ten years, our customers keep looking for it: I like to think that its lines have somehow got out of time to stay, becoming a cherished object women can always have within reach in their wardrobe" - Gianvito Rossi
