Francesco Russo x Net-A-Porter
Classic with a Sexy Twist
The creative director for shoes at Dior, the Italian designer Francesco Russo has also been designing collections under his namesake footwear brand for the last five seasons. The designer has collaborated with the Net-A-Porter for a highly feminine capsule collection, just in time for the holiday season. The collection consists five models; open-toe boots and stilettos made using patent leather and his signature calf leopard print leather. About this collaboration, Russo told: "My arrival at Net-A-Porter and the creation of this exclusive collection constitutes for me, one of the most exciting projects so far. Each pair of stilettos plays on the contrast of materials: the union of my trademarked calf leather treatment and leopard-print ponyskin give a rebellious edge to classic models". The capsule collection will be available on Net-A-Porter on mid-December.
