Se me están pasando las semanas de la moda y no he hablado
casi de ellas, lo siento. Pero bueno, todo mundo hablará de ellas, así
que está bien hacerle espacio a los nuevos talentos como Stephanie
Hensley, diseñadora estadounidense que actualmente radica en Londres.
Más
que zapatos para calzar, la colección Longevity la denominaría como piezas arquitectónicas
impulsadas por una historia milenaria, ya que los diseños fueron
inspirados en la cultura China. Claro que esas formas me recuerdan a los zapatos tradicionales que tanto oprimian los pequeños pies de las mujeres chinas.
Lo interesante es que
me ha hecho cambiar un tanto mi visión de lo hecho en China. A mí
parecer no es que todo esté mal hecho, sino que existe una situación de
explotación a su gente, sin embargo, ella ha puesto el couture en sus manos
para realizar cosas realmente espectaculares y delicadas.
Por mi parte no la perderé de vista.

I have not talked about the fashion weeks, sorry. But hey, everyone talk about them, so it's okay to make room for new talents like Stephanie Hensley, American designer who currently resides in London.
More than shoes to wear, the Longevity collection, are like an architectural pieces by a millennial history, she were inspired by Chinese culture. Of course these forms remind me of traditional shoes that both had pressed the little feet of Chinese women.
Interestingly, she has made me change my view about made in China. For me it is not that bad manufactured, but there is a situation of exploitation of people, however, she has put couture in them hands for really spectacular and delicate things.
For my part I do not lose sight.
