I was speaking to the design director of one of my clients and we were discussing inspiration. What really is inspiration ? Where do you get it? Can you really be inspired to design a shoe based on a beautiful landscape or an ocean scene? Are you moved by an art piece that brings you [...]
Vintage Shopping
I recently went shopping and was disappointed with the lack of newness out there. I know we are in between seasons and everything is on sale right now, so I opted to hit the vintage shops.
