Of course, it is very difficult for women to exist in business, produce and be successful in a male-dominated world. Women have had to cope with many obstacles arising from gender discrimination in working life, family life and social life, and continue to do so. However, despite all this inequality, many women throughout history have achieved great success and inspired us with their upright posture and unobtrusive attitude.
We have listed the women shoe designers who produce and work from which we will all be inspired by their success. Of course, the list is not limited to this; productive and successful women are everywhere… Here are the world-famous women shoe designers who have made a name for themselves with their successful shoe designs that we can add into our list.
Sophia Webster
British shoe designer Sophia Webster is the shoe designer that comes to mind when it comes to winged heels. After working with Nicholas Kirkwood for two years, she managed to turn her fantastic and fabulous shoe designs into a brand. In addition, Sophia Webster's designs for children's shoes are as successful as women's shoes.
Charlotte Olympia Dellal
Charlotte Olympia Dellal, whose shoe designs are completely handcrafted in Italy, brought a different perspective to the modern fashion concept and added another dimension to the design concept.
Nixxi Rose
British-born Nixxi Rose, making a name for herself with her Game of Thrones concept shoe design, presents its gothic style shoes to shoe lovers with the brand named Nixxi Rose.
Taylor Reeve
American shoe designer Taylor Reeve has brought an innovation to shoe models by transferring her art to shoe heels. For her, 'the higher the heel, the bigger the canvas' is the primary rule of her designs. Many designers left their shoe soles empty and plain, which led Taylor Reeve to success.
