BASE'S BASE - Shoes collection for Cosmoparis - 2013

This collection was developed for the french brand Cosmoparis. The briefing was to keep the structure of their 3 basics (best-sellers): the long leg boots; the delicate hight heel; the slipper.

aintaining the "last" of their basics.
Also, It was necessary to keep the production price of the brand and respect their production limits.

This line plays with the trompe-l'oeil, and the contrast in between natural materials and technologic ones.

The second line is called playful layers, and it is inspired by the numerous layers of leathers, fabric and lining hidden in every single shoes to create their shape and thickness.
This line has a deep material research in other to offer to the client interesting combinations of colors, textures and shines.

One model of the second line was picked up by the the brand Cosmoparis to be developed and commercialized.

Here under you can follow the complete process until the final product.
