Collaboration with Lara Captan Arabic type designer & typographer.
«For the shape concept, I thought it would be nice to start from tree roots, they are the essence of natural life, and so are women in a way. I’ve often seen roots and branches like Arabic letters, I wonder if the letters came from these sort of observations. And I think stitching, shoe laces, or the “build” of the shoe also has this winding feel to it, with a heavy structure underneath.» Lara
-- Lara is a very close friend and committed type face designer, and we’ve always supported each other’s work. This collaboration is very dear to my heart because we discussed it a few weeks after I was diagnosed with breast cancer last November. Kristina
