THE BIRTH OF AN IMMORTAL BRAND

Valerio Giuntoli | Fashion Design/Artist

It’s 1975. Valerio Giuntoli, brilliant designer and fashion consultant, begins his company of custom-made Italian boots and women’s footwear: the El vaquero Brand is born. It’s the peak of his career started at 17 years old in a shoe factory in Tuscany and strengthened by an incredible footwear and fashion knowledge. Since the early patterns, Valerio imposes his own particular vision of style conquering the artist reputation: his ideas are real and genuine artwork, unique and special.

Valerio’s endless inspiration continues in a crescendo that leads him to process themes dear to the post-atomic and hippie culture, welcoming all kinds of musical, social and artistic movements, which are taken out of their original context, reinterpreted with a touch of creative madness, and fed into a unique and contemporary product, which deviates from the ordinary to become extraordinary.

The El Vaquero Woman is a free spirit, a traveler, always enterprising and curious. She knows herself, what she wants and she can’t wait to go and get it. She is the exception that blurs the rule, she is a beautiful anomaly in the system.

Proud and wild, romantic when needed, she has the world at her feet, no expenses spared.

Her look is a combination of thousand of trips, with a few, firmed principles: respect for nature and love of art.
