“Above all I want the notion of
having to suffer to be beautiful to disappear and I hope my shoe will be as
liberating as when women left the corset behind.” – Tanya Heath
Born in Ottawa; moved to Paris in
1998 where she worked for a strategy firm.
As an entrepreneur, she designed
a shoe with interchangeable heel heights that combine mobility, comfort and
glamour in one shoe. The goal was to create shoes that women could wear at the
office, for evenings out and for the commute home by simply changing the heel
height.
She worked with a team of 14
engineers and shoe technicians to invent a mechanism that requires a simple secure
click of a button to change the heel height. The result is one of the
best technically executed examples of convertible footwear.
