Giuseppe ZANOTTI BLACK SUEDE SINGLEG SNEAKERS A DJ who turned to fashion designing for his passion and love for this art, Zanotti is known for his shoes, pouches, backpacks and card holders. He is known for sketching his designs by hand and his signature is the brand logo. His col- lection features sneaker designs for both men and women and the dark colours are blended together for a very bold and daring look that looks classy in its entirety. Crocodile and python embossed leather is used in shoes to elevate the style. These black suede singleg sneak- ers for men are round toe, low-top chamois suede and black in colour. A metal plaque is fixed on the Velcro strap for the logo while the tonal wrap-around lacing at the collar gives it a more rugged and street style. A bellows tongue stretched up nearly to the ankle, with a square logo sewed on to it and a webbing pull-loop at heel collar that supports the lacing. Also at the heel, are tonal leather counter sewed and a beige leather lining that covers the sides of the shoe. The sole is made up of treaded rubber sole that makes its grip firm and reduces friction in walking. The black leather of the sneaker gives a polished and shiny look. STONEWASH DENIM ZIP-UP High-collar Top Marques' Almeida Marques‘ Almeida is a joint designer label run by two friends, Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida that focuses on punk and street style with puffy sleeves and net. They re-imagine denim and play around with the traditional style for a more modern look. High-collar tops are a favourite in fall collections and so are denim. This mix of both gives a hardcore look with a metallic zip stretching up the neck with a ring at the end for added style. The hem is frayed which is a signature style of the designers. It is a bold look that will make a statement. The light blue colour of denim is a favourite for denim lovers and looks chic. It is sleeveless which gives it a sleek look and can be worn with leather jackets or sweaters. 45
