A Behind the Scenes Look

French Sole's shoe designer, Reed Evins, answers a few questions about his inspirations and musing behind the French Sole Spring collection.


Who is your muse?
Audrey Hepburn. Always. Especially because she always wore flats, never high heels.

What are the three things you keep in mind when you design the shoes?
Proportion, Balance and Fit.


What was your inspiration for this Spring 2012 season?
Pushed down low cut vamps of the 60's like the Papagallo.

What is your favorite shoe from the Spring 2012 collection? 
The Flutter in Black Satin. It's very Papagallo circa 1960.

What is something different that you tried this season? 
Making shoes "Sacchetto", meaning that the linings of our shoes have virtually no seams.


What can we look forward to for next season? 
Choked top lines silhouettes.
