“The world always seems brighter when you've just made something that wasn't there before.”
- Neil Gaiman
The Art of Dreaming
In May this year, Beyoncé kickstarted the highly anticipated Renaissance world tour in Stockholm, Sweden—her first solo tour in seven years. For her closing act, Queen Bey sauntered across the arena atop a disco-ball horse, draped in a dazzling cape and custom silver Giuseppe Zanotti boots, engulfed by flashing pyrotechnics and glittery showers. Renaissance, indeed.
Of course, this wasn't the first time a diva at the top of her game had sought the renowned Italian luxury footwear designer's expertise. Lady Gaga has worn at least eight of his custom-made footwear, while Rihanna performed in custom canvas chap boots at her Anti World Tour. It's less about the glitz and glamour of celebrity fame, however, and more about what these larger-thanlife women personify: strength, poise and purpose.
