  • Maria Hjelm’s Statement

    On my tiptoes
    eager to learn
    respectful of the craft

    have to see for myself
    want to explore
    find my way to tradition

    discover my own classics

    the body sets the framework
    striving for grace and refinement
    concepts stripped to pure essentials
    reduced to perfection

    weighing tradition against technology
    balancing the bodyweight
    between bespoke and mass production
    in the hands of the tailor

    thinking in modules
    forging uniform principles
    adjusting and allowing
    customising

    Leaving footprints

    Specialism:
    Footwear
