Oh, patents! Valentino Rockstud™ slingback stiletto pump

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

Variation on the very popular Rockstud™* ornamental detail. The Valentino Rockstud™ slingback stiletto pump is a patented design. The US design patent, USD852473, titled Shoe, was awarded to Stefano Sassi, former Chief Executive of the Valentino Fashion Group, on July 2nd, 2019. The patent was then assigned to Valentino S.p.A., in Milan, Italy. 

Below, the patent Figure 1 depicts a perspective view of the Valentino  Rockstud™ stiletto slingback pump. An image of a two-tone, Valentino red and poudre, slingback stiletto pump is also included.




Note

* As a reminder, the Valentino Rockstud trademark, decorating all things Valentino, was inspired by the cut-diamond-shaped stones, adorning the architecture of old Palazzi in the Italian city of Rome. Introduced  in 2010, and re-introduced  in 2016, the Valentino Rockstud™ is now an inseparable Valentino symbol, at the intersection of rebellion and high fashion.
