"The geometric shapes and sharp lines seen in 1920’s architecture is what influenced this design. I love classic men’s shoes designs such as the Oxford and Derby and details such as brogueing and double stitching. I wanted to bring all these elements together to create a contemporary men’s shoe depicting the strength and structure of 1920’s design. In keeping with a formal inspired theme, the leather upper is to be black in colour as with the stitching. Textured or etched leather will help to slightly soften the geometric pattern. A double stitching detail is seen on the front section of the shoe. Three brogue details on the outside of the shoe is a representation of the triangular design on the rear part of the shoe. It also draws your attention from the back to the front of the shoe."
