SMOKING HOT: where it all began.

Smoking Hot: Where it all began.

My debut collection. And still today, the most iconic.

HI,
I am Alberto Ciaschini. And if today my name is linked to a certain way of understanding the high heel shoe, it is all thanks to this collection: Smoking Hot .
This is where it all started.

I didn't have an e-commerce yet, nor a precise plan.
I just had an idea that had been going around in my head for weeks.
I wanted to create a feminine shoe, bold, elegant but not stiff . Something that would get noticed, but not shout.
And above all: he had to walk well.

The 110 mm cigarette heel

That's where my cigarette heel was born.
Tapered, clean, but designed to accompany the foot, not to punish it.
I still remember the first prototype: I took it home, placed it on the table and stared at it for two days straight.
I wasn't convinced. There was something wrong with the balance.
I worked on it for weeks. Until one day, in the laboratory, the craftsman I have been working with for years said to me:
"Now yes."
And there I realized we were there.

Since then, every time someone says to me:
"I didn't expect it to be so comfortable for a 110" ,
I smile. Because behind that heel is all my stubbornness.

The extinguished cigarette 75 mm

Then she arrived, the most ironic sister .
Same soul, but with a different tone.
A 75mm heel that closes with that flattened shape, like a cigarette put out in the ashtray after a long day.
It is less demanding than the 110, but no less strong.
Those who choose it usually have an essential but decisive style.
And a sense of humor that I really like.

Smoking Hot is not just a name

It's an attitude..
An invitation to take space. To walk straight even on bad days.
To bring something beautiful, well made, that doesn't follow trends but looks at them from above .
Like when you light a cigarette and take a breath — even though smoking is no longer common today.

Every time I design a new variation, I go back in my mind to that first shoe.
To that feeling of having found something of my own, finally.
That's why Smoking Hot is not just a collection. It's my mission statement .

And every time someone chooses it, I feel it.
It's as if we were telling each other, without saying it:
"Okay. You also understand which side you're on."

With passion,
Alberto

✅ FAQ – Smoking Hot Collection

Q: Are the Smoking Hot models comfortable even with high heels?
A: Yes. The 110 mm heel is designed to give you momentum, but also stability. It's not a couch shoe — but if you're used to heels, you'll be surprised by how balanced it is. The 75 mm, on the other hand, is a perfect ally for long days: elegant, but really wearable.

Q: What is the difference between cigarette heel and dull heel?
A: The first is sharp, sensual, clean. The second is softer in curvature and ends with an "off" finish, like a crushed cigarette: more relaxed, more ironic, but with the same character.

Q: How do you match the Smoking Hot models?
A: They are designed to be versatile. With a sharp suit or a pair of jeans, they always make their figure. The red patent version? It also looks great under a minimal black dress.

Q: Where can I buy them?
A: Directly on my shop: shop.albertociaschini.it . Shipping is safe and you can also pay in three installments with Klarna.
