Birth of a shoe, shoe by Jin Young Cha

I hadn’t see my favorite sales and design folk over at Papergarden in a while so I decided to pay them a visit. Jin Young Cha and I first met at the Halloween bash but that certainly wasn’t the time to get to know her a little better. Now was the time. Jin Young is one of the brilliant designers at Papergarden and we talked about the amazing shoes by Choi Jung In that I’d just photographed. She knew the designer and was actually wearing a pair of her creations. She let me know that she is in the process of designing a shoe and showed me the prototype. Here it is. I will follow its development.

    Wow. I never thought about a prototype for a shoe, but I guess it makes sense, huh? Once it’s finished, does it go to a factory to be made?

    Perhaps if she decides that it’s good enough to sell or if she finds some buyers it could be mass produced. It’s a piece of art the way it looks now. I like it.

    Ciao Goddess!
