May 7, 2019: Giannico has created a whimsical film to showcase its spring ’19 collection. The short features classical ballet dancer Christelle Cenerelli putting the season’s styles through their paces onstage. But while she may be more accustomed to dancing in ballet flats, she didn’t let an 110-millimeter heel get in the way of her performance. The collection also arrived at Milan’s La Rinascente today, and to celebrate, the department store has dedicated a special window to the label. Until May 13, the Piazza Duomo vitrine is featuring a rainbow-colored display of Giannico’s signature Daphne mules in pink, blue, green, yellow, orange, red and silver glitter.
