Aquazzura Shoes

Live la dolce vita with the flamboyant style of Aquazzura women's shoes. Announcing its proud Mediterranean spirit with a name that means 'blue water' in Italian, this contemporary Florence-based brand crafts a range of original footwear that exudes nonchalant luxury.

Founded in 2011 and spearheaded by Colombian designer Edgardo Osorio, Aquazzura produces attention-commanding shoes for both grand and intimate occasions. Padded insoles add comfort and elasticated straps make them simple to slip on and off, so they're particularly suitable for spontaneous summertime soirees. The comfortable details in the brand's footwear balance the opulent aesthetic – bows, braids and glittering chains adorn smooth leather, suede or satin uppers and straps. Heels heights range from versatile flats and slides to towering stilettos and platforms.

Gleaming PVC is another mainstay of the range, giving Aquazzura silver shoes their signature dazzle. You'll also find gold-tone buckles and precious crystal embellishments, evoking the shimmer of sunlight on the ocean (or perhaps a glittering disco ball?). For an eye-catching city outfit, you can try pairing Aquazzura slingbacks or court shoes with a tailored blazer and cigarette pants – stiletto heels and pointed toes will accentuate the sharp silhouette. Or wear a pair of silky ballet pumps with a floaty maxi dress, for a dreamy ensemble.
