The Italian shoe brand Santoni celebrated the opening of its flagship store on the 22nd of February 2013 in Milan. Among the 250 guests were numerous well-known celebrities, for instance Juliette Binoche, Pierfrancesco Favino, Beppe Fiorello, Osanna and Giangaleazzo Visconti di Modrone, Martina Mondadori, JJ Martin, Valeria Bilello, and Matteo Ceccarini. The gorgeous Flagship Store, located in Via Montenapoleone in the heart of Milan’s shopping district has been designed by interior and furniture architect Patricia Urquiola. Let’s take a look at some of the most glamorous guests and at the striking Santoni shoes afterwards:

And those were the shoes which made our hearts beat faster within a second:

Classy flats that appear in candy colours and make us dream of walks in the Milanese sun…

One of our favourite heels: Loafers in Rubelli fabric with a cardinal red pattern on golden silk. Laminated bronze leather bordering makes this heel one of a kind.

Boy meets girl: a smoking shoe in black patent, black pony and matt white calfskin. Black patent bordering gives the shoe its special touch.

Dare to wear: This smoking shoe in leopard printed pony with a black patent toe convinces us with highest-quality black patent bordering as well.
