As for why Giuseppe wanted to work with Jennifer? He said, "I've always been inspired by Jennifer and love the way she looks in my shoes – it was a natural evolution to collaborate together. He added, "The collection, like Jennifer, is sensual, sophisticated, modern but also playful and edgy."

Don't call J Lo a diva

The designer, who has previously worked with Beyoncé noted that this is the first time he's done a "real collection for a celebrity." Discussing Jennifer he said (via WWD), "I used to do in the past one shoe, two shoes. In this case it’s not enough to describe her. She likes to dance, she likes to sing, to walk and go shopping, and she has kids. She’s a beautiful and normal woman. I need to create something not only for red carpet or couture but something for reality. We have probably 18 styles at the moment. It’s a small universe.”
