Founded in 1967 by Francesco Bertollo, a graduate of Milan’s prestigious ArsSutoria technical institute, Stephen Venezia is a luxury footwear brand built on Italian artisanal heritage. The brand is distinguished by its blend of ultra-feminine forms and innovative, architectural structures, with collections recognized for their signature geometric heels and unconventional shapes. Each collection is designed and produced in-house at the family's Calzaturificio Stephen factory in Northern Italy, which is also responsible for manufacturing footwear for other major international luxury houses, including Maison Margiela's iconic Tabi shoes. Now led by the founder's son, Stefano Bertollo, the brand continues its legacy of merging traditional craft with a modern, directional design perspective.
