New Upcoming Trend By Giorgia Gabriel - White Sneakers

When it comes to dictating the global style radar, few couples turned heads quite like Italian entrepreneur Gianluca Vacchi and his then-girlfriend, fashion designer and model Giorgia Gabriele, back in 2016. Known for their synchronized dance videos, luxurious lifestyle, and impeccable wardrobes, they didn’t just follow trends—they created them.

While Vacchi’s flamboyant suits and tattoos frequently stole the spotlight, it was Giorgia Gabriele’s effortless approach to street style that truly captured the essence of modern luxury. In 2016, she solidified a look that bridged the gap between high-end couture and everyday comfort: the upscale styling of classic white sneakers.

Here is an insider look at how Giorgia Gabriele revolutionized the white sneaker trend, making it the ultimate wardrobe staple for the jet-set elite.

The Evolution of Street Luxury: Why White Sneakers?

For decades, sneakers were confined strictly to the gym or casual weekend errands. However, the mid-2010s marked a massive cultural shift. Luxury fashion began embracing minimalism, and comfort became the ultimate status symbol.

Giorgia Gabriele stood at the absolute forefront of this movement. Rather than reserving her pristine white high-tops for casual lounges, she boldly paired them with tailored outerwear, structured designer bags (like her iconic Hermès Birkin), and custom statement blazers. The contrast between an elegant, sharp silhouette and clean, bright footwear created a youthful, dynamic aesthetic that instantly resonated with fashion enthusiasts globally.

How to Style White Sneakers the 'Gabriele' Way

Achieving this high-low fashion balance requires a strategic eye. Based on Giorgia's most iconic 2016 street-style moments, here are the key style principles to mastering the look:

Invest in High-Tops: While low-profile tennis shoes are a classic, Giorgia frequently gravitated toward sleek, structural high-top white sneakers. This adds an edgy, athletic undertone to an otherwise formal outfit.

Contrast Textures: Take inspiration from her signature looks by combining soft knit scarves, rugged leather jackets, and crisp cotton tailored pieces. The white sneakers act as a neutral anchor that ties these varying textures together seamlessly.

The Monochrome Base: Keep your base layers simple. Pairing dark, slim-fitting denim or leggings with bright white shoes creates a visually elongating effect that looks instantly polished.

Travel in Style: The Ultimate Jet-Set Footwear

If there was one thing the duo of Gianluca Vacchi and Giorgia Gabriele taught us, it's that traveling should never mean sacrificing style. Whether boarding a private jet or caught transit-side at a European train station, Giorgia proved that white sneakers are the ultimate travel companion.

Paired with a relaxed olive sweater, black skinny jeans, and an oversized luxury tote, her footwear choice kept her comfortable for long journeys while ensuring she looked camera-ready the second she stepped onto the platform. It is this practical approach to glamour that cemented the white sneaker trend not just as a passing fad, but as a permanent fixture in contemporary fashion history.

A Trend for the Ages

Looking back at 2016, Giorgia Gabriele’s styling choices anticipated where the entire fashion industry was heading. Today, the is a multi-billion dollar market. By treating the humble white sneaker as a piece of fine tailoring, she gave fashion lovers everywhere permission to prioritize comfort without ever compromising on elegance.
