SKETCHESDuring research trends and themes are established, ideas are collected and saved in rough sketches made in ProCreate. Meanwile swatches and new hardware ideas are pinned to moodboards.
LASTS & SHELLSCurated ideas are drawn on the last or shells in all their details. The details make the design, hardware is chosen or designed.
PATTERNS & CONSTRUCTIONFrom the shell the base model of the pattern is drafted, technical drawings with all the needed information for the stitching department and the drawings for hardware in original size are done in Illustrator.
SAMPLESThe variety of my skills is not limited to one categorie of shoe, I am able to create delicate high heeled sandals aswell as sturdy lace up booties and sneakers. Also materials can be leather, vegan options or textiles.
OUTSOLE- My level of accuracy is shown in this technical outsole drawing done with Adobe Illustrator.
- Like a print outsoles can be embossed with any design, for this summer outsole I created a flower bouquet
AOP- Shoes are not only about construction and good fit, but also for fun:
- Belmondo summer collection 2017
- 3D-illusion floral print for shoes and bags
