The freedom of walking barefoot through sand dunes and cobbled streets in Elafonisos as a child is firmly the ideal I keep in my mind. Even when I was a Marketing Director for luxury brands, I searched for that freedom in design, in literature, and fine art. I sought freedom in Athens, Rome and Milan. I looked for it at St. Martin’s, and found it in shoes. Freedom now is in the ultimate materials, technique honed from centuries of masters and thoughtful, woman-centric design.Freedom is The Garden of Hesperides, my first collection of flats for women who love heels.

Seize the day, dance the night away.
