The footwear explores the concept of power as a complex relationship between individual will and inner desires that fundamentally influence the decision-making process. The inspiration is drawn from the world of sweets—caramel, honey, vanilla, champagne, and desserts—not as a literal aesthetic reference, but as a metaphor for desire, attraction, and sensuality. These elements represent values we naturally long for, yet which can simultaneously exert a certain form of power over us. The design alludes to the balance of two imaginary scales: on one side stands freedom of choice and personal control, while on the other lies the influence of subconscious impulses and emotions. A delicate, almost decadent aesthetic contrasts with a clearly defined construction, highlighting feminine strength as conscious and refined—not dominant in a traditional sense, but compelling through balance, self-reflection, and control over one’s own desire.
