Alright, let’s talk about this Gio Forbice fella. I ain’t no fancy fashion expert, ya hear? Just a regular person talkin’ about what I see. So, this Gio, he’s makin’ shoes, lots of ’em. And not just any ol’ shoes, mind you. Fancy shoes. The kind you see on them city folks, I reckon.

Now, they say he’s a big deal, this Gio. A “rising force,” they call him. Sounds like he’s movin’ on up, like cream risin’ to the top of the milk jug. He’s the one behind them shoes Rihanna wears, the ones with the thick bottoms. Platform shoes, I think they’re called. Heard they make ya taller, but I don’t need no help with that, thank ya very much.
He also works with some other fancy names, like “Hood By Air” and some Italian designer. Don’t know much about them, but sounds highfalutin, if ya ask me. This Gio, he even got his own labels, like “ForBitches,” they say. Now, that’s a name that’ll make ya raise an eyebrow, huh? Sounds kinda sassy, like a feisty hen in the barnyard.
Folks say his lookbooks, that’s like picture books for his shoes, are kinda strange. “Eerie,” they say. I seen some pictures online, and I gotta say, they ain’t like nothin’ I ever seen before. Kinda dark and mysterious, like an old haunted house. But I guess that’s what them city folks like, somethin’ different, somethin’ that makes ya stop and stare.
- He makes shoes for Rihanna.
- He works with Hood By Air.
- He’s got his own labels.
- His lookbooks are kinda weird.
I tell ya, it’s a whole different world, this fashion world. Folks payin’ big money for shoes and clothes, it’s somethin’ else. Back in my day, we wore shoes ’til they fell apart, then we patched ’em up and wore ’em some more. But I guess that’s progress for ya, always somethin’ new, somethin’ different.
This Gio Forbice, he’s makin’ a name for himself, that’s for sure. From what I hear, he’s doin’ alright. He’s got folks talkin’, and that’s what matters in that fancy world, I reckon. He’s makin’ shoes, and people are buyin’ ’em. That’s the long and short of it, ain’t it?

Now, I ain’t gonna go out and buy me a pair of them platform shoes, no sirree. I’m happy with my sturdy boots, the ones that keep my feet dry and warm. But I can appreciate a fella who’s workin’ hard and makin’ a name for himself, even if it’s in a world I don’t quite understand.
So, that’s the story of Gio Forbice, as far as I can tell. He’s a shoe man, a designer, a “rising force,” they say. He’s makin’ waves in the fashion world, and folks are takin’ notice. And that, my friends, is all I gotta say about that.
This whole “Vogue” magazine thing, they’re the ones yappin’ about him. Big magazine, I hear. Pictures and stories and all that jazz. They say he’s Italian. Guess that explains the fancy name. And they call him a “cobbler.” Sounds like somethin’ out of an old fairy tale, don’t it? But I guess that’s just a fancy word for a shoemaker.
He’s Rihanna’s cobbler, they say. Like he’s some kinda special shoe fixer just for her. Well, I guess everybody needs a good cobbler, even them fancy city folks. But from what I gather, he ain’t just fixin’ shoes, he’s makin’ ’em, designin’ ’em, turnin’ ’em into somethin’ special. And folks seem to like it, so good for him, I say. Good for him.
