Did you know I was actually hired by Vibram for the Fashion soles market? 👠
I designed hundreds of casual, dress soles and sheets for many brands all over the world like Hugo Boss, Paul Smith, Camper, Armani and so on…
But if you’ve followed me for a while, you know that I am a technical footwear designer and sole design expert.
🥲 I confess: I miss designing fashion soles a lot!
So on tomorrow I will show you my step-by-step fashion soles design workflow with a pretty strong product brief:
💀🤍🖤 A chunky, aggressive, unisex, Punk culture inspired combat sole! 💀🤍🖤
🖤Here’s what you’ll learn:
• How to start from the last outlines, make the volume layout
• How to sketch the profile from scratch (i’d be happy if you followed along, so bring your sketching tools!
• How to integrate metal elements to the sole
• Weight reduction solutions
• How to create the sole bottom gauge
• How to sketch the bottom of a combat sole
• How to add final detailing, so we can finalize our draft
If you want to receive the complete brief AND last profile and gauge outlines all you have to do is sign up here and i’ll send them right away:
