Desinger Francesco Russo talks about Dakota



Francesco Russo is well on his way to becoming one of the most recognized shoe designers in the industry. While millions of women around the globe wear the iconic YSL Tribute platforms he designed while working at the French fashion house, very few know his name – but that’s all about to change. Stepping out on his own in 2013, Russo has maintained a low-key, yet luxury profile in the world of shoes. That is, until Victoria Beckham discovered his wares a few weeks ago and promptly ordered every single pair he had in her size. Every. Single. Pair. She then headed to Hong Kong for a retail trip where she was spotted multiple times in his creations. Other devoted fans include Dakota Johnson and Olivia Palermo.

What other celebrities are fans of your shoes?

Francesco Russo: Dakota Johnson, she loved the classicism of the brand — the D’orsay and the hair ankle sandal were her favorites. And Olivia Palermo, who is a friend, someone I respect very much, a beautiful lady, the one she fell totally in love with which is the one I call the Mohawk sandal — it has a Mohawk at the back. And also our classic pump with the high back — our take on the stiletto — the same one Victoria loved.
