Born in France in 1960 from Italian parents, designer Bruno Frisoni is more than anything a true parisian. His eyes, changing from blue to green, sparkle behind a funny pair of glasses that makes him look like a malicious kid. Frisoni began his carreer with mytical fashion designers, starting with Jean-Louis Scherrer in 1980, Maryll Lanvin and then Christian Lacroix.

But in 1995 Frisoni decided to work on his own and started a free lance activity collaborating with the chic houses of Trussardi, Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche with Albert Elbaz. A depth in Couture that developped Frisoni’s taste for haute fantasy designs.

In 1999 Bruno Frisoni launched his first shoe collection. « When I started I wanted to design clothes but I soon developed a passion for accessories and especially for shoes. You just carry a bag with you whereas a shoe is part of you». Frisoni treats the shoe like a piece of clothing with boots as gloves, barefeet shaped as shoulder pads or ankle socks sandals. Before sketching a heel, the designer outlines a silhouette and creates an attitude. Frisoni works straight from the body and drapes fabrics and ribbons on his feet like a real couturier. His undone buttonhole denim shoe, already a must have, all started from a pair of jeans sliding down an ankle.

Each creation, more overornated than minimalist, is interlaced with leather and fabric and decorated with creative trims. "I’m not into pure design as the techinical aspect of the shoe is not that interesting to me. I like the decorum better, the structure doesn’t count but the intention is essential ". Frisoni’s shoes are storytellers and the designer finds his inspiration in a passion for Yves Saint Laurent and a love for Kiraz’s Les Parisiennes. His shoe design finds its energy and its modern outlook in a mix of varied nostalgic influences, like a 60’s retro shape electrified with 80’s flashy colours.

Bruno Frisoni’s beautiful creations dress up the woman’s feet like a piece of jewellery around her neck. No need to be overdressed with charms or rich colours as the shoes shine for themselves. Muses such as Kate Moss, Charlotte Gainsbourg or Victoria Abril cart their Frisoni’s round to festivals and parties. Girls just want to have fun!
