The Italian womenswear show label Sergio Rossi unveils its Autumn Winter 2013 collection inspired by an idea of exultation of the shoe as expression of architectural design.

A tribute to world-class architect Santiago Calatrava, who throughout his work has forged a union between architectural vision and engineering principles, the collection features distinct shapes in line with the concept of simplicity. The use of python in addition to classic leather and suede enhances and highlights the graphic effects and underscores the geometric shapes of the collection.

The signature item of the new Sergio Rossi collection is a spike-heel pump with set steel support cage between heel and sole. Apart from being a decorative feature, the cage is also a functional element, supporting the delicate structure of the shoe.
