While I spent a great deal of my life, education, and industry experience nurturing one category of design, an updated court ruling in July of 2022 made it very clear that I had to find a new trade and a new way to express myself creatively. Women\u2019s shoes is a fashion category that was not only legally safe for me to practice publicly under a new name, but also an area I felt a real connection to the development process from illustrating and pattern making to embellishing and mold building. What inspired me on a sentimental level is the fact that shoes, as a product, can help you manifest the way you carry yourself. A real \u201cwalk the talk\u201d kind of product. I quickly grew excited about developing my aesthetic language in this industry, and even better, I loved the fact that I could potentially reach even more women in this space.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"852\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-3.jpg 852w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-3-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-3-768x1154.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-3-346x520.jpg 346w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Many have followed you on your journey to becoming CHEVAL.

The public support I\u2019ve received has been my saving grace and greatest source of inspiration in starting a new chapter in the women\u2019s shoe space. I see it as a privilege to be able to grieve part of my journey, yet I also feel a loving accountability in moving on. There is a special form of gratitude I have for people that felt the residual stress of my lawsuit, yet still showed up to support me and encourage me to find a new way to create.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-7.jpg 853w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-7-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-7-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-7-347x520.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>When it comes to designing shoes, where do you get your inspiration from? Who do you have in mind when designing your shoes?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The inspiration for this collection came from holding onto who you are, especially when life gets complicated and gritty. I found a comforting sense of nostalgia in the shoe making process; exploring the tiniest of details and sentimental moments that make you feel most connected to your imagination. From childhood treasures and unbreakable bonds to familiar pop-culture references and song lyrics that transport you to a whismy wonderland: there is a lot of sentimental messaging\u00a0 to unearth. I want this first collection to feel like an exciting treasure hunt that puts a little pep in your step, reminds you to walk (or fly) your own path, and encourages you to leave an optimistic trail for someone else to be inspired.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"893\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-5.jpg 893w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-5-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-5-714x1024.jpg 714w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-5-768x1101.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-5-363x520.jpg 363w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your latest collection?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s in a name\u2026\u201d was the question I wanted to answer in 2022. In coming up with a new name for myself, I wanted to make sure my very first shoe collection had a strong sense of self and personality. Naming each style based on the artistic inspiration and expression of that style has to be one of my favorite personification rituals. From style names like \u201cLe Tigre Dynamite\u201d and \u201c1980 Year of the Lady\u201d to unique colorways like \u201cTeen Witch\u201d and \u201cSpace Fairy\u201d,\u00a0 I have only just begun my big book of creative story telling.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of texture, I am particularly proud of the resin technique we used to preserve real life hydrangeas in the acrylic heels of styles, \u201cCOURT ME\u201d and \u201cDID MY HEART LOVE TIL NOW\u201d; a homage to the magic of self-preservation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us about a personal favorite shoe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will always identify as a lover of \u201chigh heels\u201d, but one of my rogue favorites is, \u201cBlame It on the Boogie\u201d sneaker with the stylized platform and rhinestone Velcro. For me, this style embodies a \u201cget up and glow\u201d attitude; it makes me want to bounce and bedazzle my way through life\u2026. especially when circumstances try to pull me down.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9782\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-10-Kopie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-10-Kopie.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-10-Kopie-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-10-Kopie-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-10-Kopie-390x520.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>And it\u2019s not only shoes that you are working on?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As cliched as it sounds, I believe that when one door closes, you go open new ones. Launching shoes has given me the confidence to navigate new creative mediums, but I\u2019ve quickly realized that time and specialized focus is paramount in a career pivot. Not all skills transfer so easily and there is a whole lot for me to learn in this space. I feel it\u2019s important to be patient with yourself and know that so much of putting yourself out there is about persistence not perfection.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also relied on feedback from my community in what they want to see from me. Shoes were the top priority \u2026 quickly followed by hats; which is such a guilty pleasure of mine. Both of these product categories are challenging in their own right, so I am going to spend some quality time in these categories before finding the next step.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-8-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-8-.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-8--300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-8--1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-8--768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-8--1140x780.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.bridal-times.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Photo-8--520x356.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you imagine we will get to see another stunning dress designed by you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have always wanted to be a wedding dress designer and that dream is very much still intact.
