Inspired by natural materials, I create a contemporary and refined silhouette for the independent and sophisticated woman who isn’t afraid of standing out from the crowd. I push creative boundaries by combining masculine strength with feminine elegance juxtaposing sensual proportions with dominant structural high heels that exaggerate the female shape.”
