I'm a Shoe Designer | My Design Life

Martha Davis has always been about design. She worked in industrial design for 15 years before making her mark in fashion with a namesake shoe line in 2009—but it wasn’t about strappy heels and staggering stilettos. Martha has a love of unconventional shapes, textiles, and bringing the unexpected to life. So walk this way and learn more about her design life.

Martha, are you employed by a shoe manufacturer? Or do you work as a consultant with different manufacturers? How do you get paid for your designs?

For a long time, i have this design in my mind a new idea for high heels.
See, on a high heels if slings a beautiful objects are hanging down throughout the high heels part, , , it will look so dazzling....
Why don't you try it out...The high heel support may be going flat from the front part that touch the ground or heeless types and ...if these slings are hanging down next to one another, may it be shining crystals objects or any stylish objects, that swings as walking... like eg: slings hanging down like those sea sheels rope curtains. Different kinds of slings could be applied.
I 'll look so fabulous.

Not sure if you are still answering comments but I have a question. Why is it that shoe companies like Louboutin and Brian Atwood come out with one or two really gorgeous designs and the rest look like a little kid made them. . .I am an artist and love to draw women and use stiletto heels in my work but am very picky about how my women look in my drawings as well as how my artwork turns out.
