Summer Moss is a high-heel shoe design collection that embodies the sensation of being half-awake. For me, designing wearables feels akin to sleep talking, accompanied by a gentle breeze that carries the scent of grass. I find that half-awake memories are some of the most vivid, allowing me to capture the soft and moist scenes lingering in my subconscious. In my dreams, I soar over water and land within moments, where overlapping thoughts and imaginations gradually immerse me in the essence of summer. This collection translates the romantic imagery from my unconscious into something tangible and poetic, achieved through the interplay of leather, mesh, wood and moss. By weaving these ephemeral experiences into my designs, I create a poetic connection that bridges memory and the present through each pair of shoes.
