Entry Description

Pragmatic Innovation is inspired by the functionality and appeal of architecture and furniture design. In these areas, while a designer is free to experiment and manipulate silhouettes, they are also limited in having to accommodate comfort and functionality. Striking this balance within these limitations is crucial. The platform and vamp of the shoe creates stability through an unusual shape and the transparent heel allude to a floating piece within the shoe. Every detail is carefully crafted while walking the tightrope between pragmatism and creative innovation.
