MsFABulous was invited for an intimate preview of the Fratelli Rosetti’s 2011 Autumn/Winter collection, hosted by the renowned designer and illustrator, Rebecca Moses. Rebecca told us the theme for her illustrations for the shoe collection was the “old mother goose who lived in a shoe” a classic English nursery tale. Rebecca’s illustrated girls are gorgeous, leap tall buildings in boots, play and well, do it all.
Ms. Moses’ created her world illustrations by associating a footwear piece with each city. The fur boot was perfect for the cold mountains of China. The green shoe was developed in her honor by the brand and represents her home city of New York...
Fratelli Rossetti shoes are statement pieces that are made in Italy right outside of Milano. The shoes stay on the shoe lasts ( the ‘dressform’ for shoes) for up to 4 days and are made from beautifully pebbled calf, suede and box calf leathers. The tanning produces rich, natural colors such as tan and chocolate browns but also, for the season, there are shots of burgundy, hunter green and teal added to the mix both for the girls and for the well groomed man in your life or at least, within your sight.
