“ I design flats like I design heels: They must be seductive, beautiful and comfortable. ”
Up until the 1960s, women would meet designers in their private ateliers, and together they would build a relationship and a wardrobe. Then, all of a sudden, designers disappeared into their own private bubble, and there was no communication.
~ Edgardo Osorio
I got a New York designer to build my dream store here, which is a little bit of Florence in New York. It's like the Duomo on Madison. I got inspired by Santa Maria Novella and all the Renaissance architecture.
When I sit down and design, it's shoes that always appear.
Being inspired is one thing, but completely knocking off a design is another. There is a big difference.
