Banfi Zambrelli
December 31, 1969
Silvano Banfi was born into a shoe making family in Milan, and by an early age was working with some of the finest houses in Europe. By the time he was 18, he was designing and producing footwear for the likes of Gucci, Bally, Lario & Gianni Versace. After leaving the prestigious ARS Sutoria Institute, he arrived in the U.S. in 1994, honing his talent with Calvin klein, Banana Republic and Coach. At Coach he met Frank Zambrelli, where they collectively launched the brand’s very successful extention into footwear. In 2003, they joined forces once again to pursue a more personal vision of how beautiful shoes should be made.
Frank Zambrelli was headed for medical school when a trip to the European shows radically altered his plans. Heading instead to the Fashion Institute of Technology, he graduated with a dream job at Chanel. John Varvatos, then Cole Haan gave him his next big break, the opportunity to perfect his craft in Europe, Asia and the U.S. His tenure led him to Coach, and the successful launch of the venerable firm’s foray into footwear.
Connecting with Silvano they realized they shared similar design views and a sincere interest in the art of shoemaking, and vowed to someday begin their own studio. In 2003, in a remarkably tiny storefront in midtown Manhattan, Banfi Zambrelli was born.
