The scrappy Hayes Valley gal’s extensive career in industrial design shines through in her architecturally inspired line of minimalist footwear.“I think of shoes as little products or architecture for the feet—both share similar purpose of protection, organization and personality,” says the designer. Made in the same Italian factory used by Chanel and Chloé, the sculptural shapes get softened by raw-edged satin-finish leather. What we love is that she likes a bit of tension—something unexpected—whether its in the proportions, composition or materials. She wants to change the rules + we love a woman that wants to make her own rules!
