Soft Forms refers to the shapes, lines and materials present in this shoe alongside the theme of the body. Soft also refers to the comfort and unique tactility of the materials which were specifically developed for this collection.

With the prompt of sustainability and material ingenuity, the Soft Forms Collection features a new material made from recycled yarns and woven using a tufting gun. On the uppers soft-pebbled leathers meet tufted textiles.

Bio
I'm a Footwear Designer and recent MA graduate from Polimoda School of Fashion in Florence, Italy. I completed my BFA in 2015 in Drawing and Textiles at OCAD University in Toronto, Canada. My love for sculpture, material exploration, and innovative fashion has naturally progressed into a passion for Footwear Design.
