When Michael Jackson’s personal stylist, Ruschka Bergman, wanted exclusive footwear that was unique to commemorate the King of Pop’s comeback, designer Giuseppe Zanotti did justice by creating three exceptional models.

Everything had to be perfect for the first leg of the late King of Pop’s “This Is It!” tour, which was slated for July in London, before his untimely death on June 25.

And no one could rise to the needs of stars better than Zanotti.
For technical reasons, Jackson’s shoes had to be suitable for dancing. They had to be soft, comfortable and functional.

And they also had to reflect the singer’s own determination and appeal.

Of the three designs, the boot was billed as extreme.

Inspired by the Dirty Diana videoclip, its totally black silhouette lights up, thanks to the alternation of jewellery buckles of various sizes.

The flat gladiator sandals, on the other hand, speaks for itself, with a choreographic pattern of studs and strass decorating its soft little calfskin straps.

Finally, the ankle boot encrusted with multi-coloured Swarovski crystals — like the colours of the rainbow — was the model that Zanotti donated to the Amfar Gala Dinner during the Milan Fashion Week on Sept 28.

Auctioned for 10,000 Euros (RM50,000), the Rainbow Boot made its own contribution to the fundraising efforts for research on HIV/AIDS.

Many from the artistic and fashion world were present, including Jackson’s little sister Janet, who was also one of the hosts.

Also applauding the Italian designer’s success were Kanye West, Amber Rose, Anna Piaggi, Alek Wek and Anja Rubik.

The other two shoe designs will be displayed at a show dedicated to the late singer, curated by Bergman herself.
