This mini collection of three handcrafted pair of boots was inspired by the expressive and spiritual art of African masks, translated to walk the urban street as a statement of female empowerment.
Intentionally ignoring the idealised, western notion of the female body, this work amplifies the leg with an unconventional silhouette. It echos this intricate tribal art, which comes to life through a play on proportions. Enhancing and disfiguring, shapes are simplified and exaggerated. And the idea of body modification is used to deter modern day evil abuse.

Shoe

Most of my time is spend designing and creating conceptual footwear. However I do love a good fashion shoe. And occasionally I need to set some time aside to put a design on paper.
For me the ideal fashion shoe is one that women can dance in all night. Enough evenings are cut short because our feet are on fire. However, I have a real soft spot for those beautiful, alluring stiletto heels. Putting on a pair is like a transformation. You are not only physically elevated, but it coincides with an empowered state of mind. The impact of a good heel is truly unparalleled to any other object in our wardrobe.
Occasionally I sketch out a design as a short study, considering the mood and attitude of the shoe, I enjoy the spontaneous process of designing an object I feel strongly about. After all, even if they are not ideal to dance in all night, they are perfect for a sit down dinner.
