Does your design style reflect YOU? Or are you a multiple design personality? We paired some minimalist, avant-garde shoe designs with interiors that might be a reflection of their designer's lifestyle standards (similar analogy to why dogs look like their owners). Minimalism will always take the cake with a subtle, yet unforgettable statement.  The key ingredients are: timelessness, functionality and simplicity. 'Less is more' certainly speaks volumes.

Short history lesson:
"Minimalism emerged in New York in the early 1960s among artists who were self-consciously renouncing recent art they thought had become stale and academic. A wave of new influences and rediscovered styles led younger artists to question conventional boundaries between various media. The new art favored the cool over the 'dramatic.'" - TheArtStory.org.

Dutch fashion designer, Iris van Herpen is truly one of a kind.  Inspired by architecture and nature, van Herpen bridges the gap between disciplines with a no-boundary approach for her couture fashion pieces.  Some may question this designer’s avant-garde method, but we are simply in awe of this wearable art collection. As Coco Chanel once said, ‘In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.‘

​Here is how we translate van Herpen’s visions in our designer minds:
