fashionologie — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 08:55:45 PDT

>> Kanye West already has a womenswear designer and a stylist consultant in place for his upcoming womenswear debut, but what about the shoes? West is rumored to be collaborating on women's stilettos with Giuseppe Zanotti. While Zanotti did not completely confirm the reports, he did note: “Kanye is always here in my factory. In the last three years, he has come here maybe every month and worked with the employees 10 to 12 hours a day. He loves learning about shoes, both the design and construction, and we’ve tried to design something together." Zanotti then teased: “In a couple of months, he could have his own special collection out," hinting of the possible designs: "I always create shoes with a lot of sex appeal.” [FN]

Later in the evening at the movie's premiere, Mulligan, a Vionnet fan in the past, chose a head-to-toe Spring 2011 look from the label - finishing it off with Giuseppe Zanotti for Vionnet gold wedges - while Knightley, a current Chanel face, picked a pearly Fall 2010 Chanel couture dress and chunky black pumps.

Vionnet creative director Rodolfo Paglialunga presented his fifth collection designing for Madeline Vionnet's namesake house, pairing his distinct shapes with some of the bias cut draping for which the French label is known. Paglialunga, who spent years at Prada before being snatched up by Mateo Marzotto-Vionnet's owner since early 2009-designed a collection of rounded hemmed and asymmetric dresses, some with sheer panels and cutouts at the shoulders. Having recently collaborated on a shoe collection with Giuseppe Zanotti and dressed a number of starlets for award seasons, Vionnet is poised to officially make her comeback, after years of trying, this fall.
