I wanted to clearly define my language: a timeless shoe with a little twist.
— Chloe Gosselin
I love to play with textures and colors. I mix them together like I would in a painting.
I loved shoes. I had my little ballerina flats, and my mom never wore heels. But when I was about three or four, she got a job where she had to wear the tiniest heels. I was obsessed.
Rock formations and their layers of texture and color have been a strong inspiration, as well as the landscapes of Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada and the Rainbow Mountains in China.
It's weird, you know? I didn't really envision my future, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out.
All my shoes are named after poisonous flowers, so since the beginning I've had the idea of doing something with danger in it.
Having a kid really changed my perspective.
