Giuseppe Zanotti Silver Fish Sandals
The Find: Giuseppe Zanotti designed the fishbone sandal in 2004 on the back of a restaurant tablecloth during dinner in Cesenatico, Italy. It became one of the most iconic shoes in fashion history — worn by Samantha Jones in the 2008 Sex and the City film, Beyoncé at the 2003 VMAs, and just reissued in fall 2025 as a limited collector's edition for $1,850. This flat version, the Rock 10 Infradito in Argento, is the vintage archive original. Hand-beaded fish in black, white, ivory, and olive with crystal rhinestone detailing on a silver metallic leather thong. The shoe that started a legend. Original box and dustbag included.
