Making of Diana Collection, Artistic Footwear by Deborah Kiwi

FOOTWEAR FOR IDEAS BEYOND THE ORDINARY​

​

Deborah designs and handcrafts footwear for fashion brands, creative projects and private clients.

​

Working from a concept, garment, image, material or brief, Deborah develops each project from the ground up, exploring form and distinctive visual languages.
