Aquazzura was founded in 2011 by shoe designer Edgardo Osorio following a decade of experience at Salvatore Ferragamo, Sigerson Morrison and Roberto Cavalli. Osorio was born in Colombia and raised between Miami and London, where he later attended Central Saint Martins. Now based in Florence, surrounded by some of the best craftspeople and studios in the luxury industry, he creates stylish yet wearable footwear for women of all ages provided they have a strong, unique personal style. He imagines the Aquazzura woman as someone, “who loves to travel and have fun and is the life of the party.”
