An Dejongh, civil engineer by education with a university level teaching experience, came to Arsutoria with an interesting background on shoe making and, with great passion and dedication, took it to the next level by creating an interesting collection and by developping a very well crafted final project: a boot.

Inspired by the principles of Mexican modernism, this boot investigates spatiality through refined construction and carefully balanced proportions. Contrasting details create visual tension, subtly redefining the archetype of the boot without compromising its identity. Have a look at her final steps into project and product development - as she says:

"During the design course, I expanded my knowledge of design and was introduced to various design programs... What truly stood out to me is the technical path, I highly recommend it. It significantly deepened my understanding of patternmaking"

As a recent Shoe 1-Year Diploma graduate, we are confident she will build an exciting career within footwear!

Jim Pacifico, Marketing Head and co-owner of Sapatero, joined Arsutoria School with the goal of gaining the skills needed to develop a new women’s footwear and sneaker collection for his brand in the Philippines, a fully homegrown shoemaking business specializing in handmade men’s leather shoes. He came to Milan to gain fashion insights and work with our professional instructors.

For Jim, the course was very valuable, as it helped him move beyond a product-focused mindset and understand how the different elements of a collection
come together throughout the creative process. He learned how to approach collection development with a broader perspective, moving from product to branding.

Wishing you great success with the launch of your future women’s line, Jim!
