SLIM 2.0 SANDAL 105

Twenty-one years after its debut, the legendary fishbone-shaped jewel returns as a limited-edition collector’s item. The GZ Signature collection represents the brand’s most exclusive line, dedicated to preserving and celebrating Giuseppe Zanotti’s most iconic designs for future generations of fashion connoisseurs.

The story of the Slim began in 2004, during an intimate dinner at a seaside restaurant in the historic fishing town of Cesenatico, in Emilia-Romagna. In a moment of pure creative inspiration, Giuseppe Zanotti sketched the first concept directly onto the restaurant’s tablecloth, a revolutionary design that transforms a discarded object like a fishbone into a precious piece of jewelry that sensually wraps around the instep.
The Slim achieved pop culture icon status after its memorable appearance in the 2008 film “Sex and the City,” worn by Samantha Jones during an unforgettable scene.

The Slim embodies Giuseppe Zanotti’s unwavering commitment to the excellence of Italian craftsmanship. Each pair requires 48 hours of meticulous handcrafted work, involves 21 specialized professionals, undergoes 24 production stages, and passes 9 rigorous quality control checks. The fishbone-shaped metal ornament was crafted by master jewelers based on a design by Giuseppe Zanotti and adapted to the foot’s ergonomics. The more than 300 crystals adorning the fishbone are applied by hand, while the straps made of fine leather ensure optimal comfort.
