Creating something truly unique in the world of footwear is a difficult thing to do. The old saying goes, ‘everything under the sun, has been done,’ and truth be told it is not far from accurate. This at least applies to wearable shoes that still maintain a manner of elegance. Truly horrible concoctions are easy to create, but then who would wear them? I often get asked about where my design inspiration comes from?

We don’t have to be great artists to be great designers. But we do have to have ideas and while ideas won’t always be 100% ours, the way in which we spin them is. But never resort to blatant copying, as that is not design and respectable on any level.
