Temperley London and Giuseppe Zanotti launch anniversary footwear capsule

A 25th anniversary is the kind of moment that justifies a £495 to £1,200 shoe gift, especially when the pair is meant to be worn long after the champagne is gone. Temperley London used its silver-jubilee year to launch a footwear capsule with Giuseppe Zanotti, turning anniversary dressing into something more practical than a one-night statement and more personal than standard designer shoes.

The collection spans heels, flats and sandals, which makes the choice feel thoughtful rather than one-note. Temperley gave the capsule a film-noir inflection, with black satin slingbacks finished with a crystal-and-gold ankle strap and strappy gold leather sandals set with crystal accents. Each pair was made in Giuseppe Zanotti’s Italian ateliers, and that craftsmanship is the real reason the prices sit where they do: this is not occasion footwear that disappears after one event, but a polished, made-in-Italy wardrobe piece meant to keep its place in rotation.

Alice Temperley said the collaboration solved a long-running search for shoes that work with her brand’s tailoring and eveningwear and still feel relevant years later. Giuseppe Zanotti described the project as a blend of Temperley’s romantic, bohemian elegance and his own disruptive, creative approach to footwear. Sarita Jha framed the partnership as a natural meeting of two globally recognized brands and a strategic step in expanding the Temperley lifestyle offer under majority owner Times Square Group LLC, which is clearly where this is headed: less single-category fashion, more full look.

The launch reached Temperley London boutiques in London and Dubai, with availability also at the brand’s London flagship at 129 Sloane Street and online. Temperley’s own site positioned the Temperley x Zanotti collaboration as a limited-time collection with early access ahead of its official online debut on May 25, 2026. For anyone buying for a spouse at a milestone anniversary, that mix of anniversary symbolism, Italian manufacture and genuinely wearable silhouettes is what makes the capsule feel more special than a routine designer heel.
