The Flex Wedge
Shoe Design in Italy - Wintersession 2014
This winter I had the amazing opportunity to spend three weeks studying design in Turin, Milan and Florence. My class visited various factories and offices of shoe, car, and fashion design brands to learn about Italian design and gather inspiration. After returning to Providence, I spent two weeks designing and fabricating a pair of prototype shoes.
My design reflects the style of early twentieth century women's shoes, but with the addition of a flexible, modular wedge. Inspired both by the flexibility of running shoes and the elegance of Italian design, this shoe provides the movement and comfort that most designer heels lack.
