perceptive asymmetry

Purity is a key concept in Julia Thomas’ work. With a vision to redefine the familiar perception of footwear, Julia’s debut collection examines the asymmetries of the body and challenges the very notion of symmetry in shoe design. The heels play a significant part in this collection. The flat sandal with a reversed heel is naturally elevating the wearer’s foot whereas the Perspex heels are milled out of a solid block before being polished to high shine. All the shoes are made by hand in Tuscany, Italy
