Explore Leather Qualities in Footwear

Designer shoes 2008 collection

I love to work with leather and almost in every shoe design I try to explore specific qualities of each leather type I work with. I am going with the material and when it is hard or stiff, I design suitable shoe design and when it is soft, flexible like a plasticine, I try to find mild and soft shoe shapes.

In the process of shoe designing of these footwear the material was the center of idea, and the colore was not important. The softness and texture  of this suede and nappa I used here required such a design that could emphasise their amazing qualities. 

No matter how corny it sounds, the flower  rose was an expiration for me. The amazing beauty of its shape and texture, that is kind of velvety, grabbed my intention to create the same qualities in my shoe designs.

Also, I wanted to create some conflict between the shapes inside of the shoe. This juxtaposition of the soft shapes created inside of the upper and hard shape of the shoe's last form emphasize the uniqueness of each other.
