Giovanna Battaglia: Slipper Mania

Slipper Mania
By Gala

Giovanna Battaglia is among the jet-setters that love “metropolitan slippers,” as seen in the February 2012 issue of ELLE Italia in the special “What is new?” for the coming spring.

Luxurious and comfortable little slippers, not to be relegated to the domestic boudoir, but to show off with a quick pace on a thousand occasions. They are, in particular, refined creations rigorously hand-sewn with soft, quality materials, both in fabric and leather, almost always customized with figures and embroidery “sur mesure.” Their style reminds me a bit the moccasin or the Berber slipper or the classic English slipper in velvet with the family crest embroidered. Some of them call to mind our very Italian “Friulane” or “Furlane,” that from the feet of peasant women from Friuli passed to the feet of the gondoliers of Venice, and then became a cult object.

The favorite slippers of Giovanna are Italian, by C.B. Made in Italy, exquisite handmade creations designed by Cecilia Bringheli, a young Milanese designer.

Slipper Mania
By Gala

Giovanna Battaglia è tra i jet-setters amanti delle “slipper metropolitane”, sul numero di Febbraio 2012 di ELLE Italia, nello Speciale “Che cosa c’è di nuovo?” per la Primavera che deve arrivare.

Lussuose e comode pantofoline, non da relegare al boudoir domestico, ma da sfoggiare con passo svelto in mille occasioni. Si tratta, in particolare, di raffinate creazioni artigianali rigorosamente cucite a mano con morbidi materiali pregiati, sia in tessuto  che in pelle, quasi sempre personalizzabili con cifre e ricami “sur mesure”. La loro foggia ricorda un po’ il mocassino o la pantofolina berbera o la classica pantofola inglese in velluto con stemma di famiglia ricamato. Alcune ricordano la nostra italianissime “Friulane” o “Furlane”, che dai piedi delle contadine Friulane sono passate ai piedi dei Gondolieri di Venezia, per poi divenire oggetto di culto.

Le “slipper” preferite da Giovanna sono italiane, di C.B. Made in Italy, squisite creazioni artigianali pensate da Cecilia Bringheli, giovane designer milanese.

OMG This reminds me so much of the eighties when everybody wore preppy crests on "slippers" and shirt pockets.
