Anja Rubik's Glam Punk Shoes for Giuseppe Zanotti

Top model Anja Rubik has created a footwear capsule with matching bag for Giuseppe Zanotti. The collection of five styles are inspired by Anja’s musical heroes Debbie Harry and David Bowie. 

“It’s a bit glam-punk,” Rubik told Vogue UK.  “I love that period in music. I’m a huge Bowie fan. People have said I look like him, which is honestly the biggest compliment. I think it’s the high cheekbones. His style was so bold and brave and his music so honest. The whole collection is very personal to me, there is a real story behind it.”

Speaking of her friendship with Zanotti, Anja said: “We’ll always have lunch together when I’m in Milan and I’ll always tell him what I like and don’t like about his shoes. One day I said to him: ‘Maybe you should do something a bit more punk.’ And he said, ‘Why don’t you design it for me?’ It happened very organically.”

As for future design projects, Anja says she intends to take it slowly and would focus next on a collection with “more accessible price points”.
