How not to dress like a Hollywood star |
"Comfort used to be an ugly word in the fashion world, and that's something I want to change," Osorio says.
Osorio has been working on adjusting the balance of the shoes so that weight is distributed evenly and not focused only on the front of the foot, while the memory foam in the pad adds an extra comfort cushion.
The work of his little workshop in Florence became known through word-of-mouth, and was passed on from fashion magazine editors to celebrities.
"Once they try them, they buy them," Osorio says.
For the upcoming fall/winter season, Osorio is "particularly obsessed with fringes", not only because they look good while dancing, but also "go great with every other item, from jeans to skirts, for day and night look".
Osorio has collaborated with Olivia Palermo, a longtime friend of his and one of Hollywood's most famous socialites, to launch a special shoe collection: Aquazzura * Olivia Palermo. The collection, inspired from the vintage pieces from Palermo's wardrobes, is available at Lane Crawford.
