Shoe In

Gianvito Rossi’s stunning shoes combine high quality craftsmanship and cutting-edge design. The brand’s only West Coast boutique at South Coast Plaza is one of just three in the U.S., and is a jewel box brimming with sexy pumps, lacey booties, high heels festooned with feathers, and glittery sandals that seem to have stepped straight out of a fairy tale. Gianvito and his brother grew up in the shoe business, working alongside their father, Sergio, a second-generation cobbler. The family lived above the factory in San Mauro Pascoli, Italy’s famed shoe district. After Sergio sold his business, the brothers struck out on their own. The Gianvito Rossi brand is known for signature designs that are updated each season, including the Gianvito pointed-toe pump, the strappy Portofino sandal, the Plexi (see-through) pump, and Vamp, a high-back bootie. “I like a modern, independent, strong-minded woman who wants to feel feminine and cool,” says Gianvito. 714.668.9477, gianvitorossi.com   Andrea Naversen
