Andreia Chaves, the footwear designer from Sao Paulo, Brazil, created wildly geometric shoes from unconventional materials, while studying form, texture and visual effects in Florence, Italy. She has a collection of footwear concepts on the cutting edge of fashion. "The fact that I grew up in a chaotic city like Sao Paulo, full of contrasts, being in contact with such diversity and constant exposure to different visual inputs, has inspired me in how I think and conceptualize my shoes. Looking at my work, I can clearly see influence coming from my South American sense of versatility. Also in the mix, what I have been experiencing in Europe." she explains.
