concept

With a keen interest in the rules and regulations that go along with traditions. There are many examples in menswear, particularly in formal wear and uniforms. In this shoe collection Sarah reinterprets the meaning of these "uniforms" by zooming into specific details and transforming them. Seeking to push the boundaries of these unwritten rules by expressing them through the medium of shoes.
