ophia Victoratou has experimented with painting on shoes since she was little. She studied architecture, fashion design, and styling, but shoe design won: “This was the only way I could freely express myself,” she says. Inspired by all things positive, Sophia’s creations make bold statements. “Shoes are capable of transforming even the dullest outfit. Make the right choice, and you get more confidence. Which is what counts.” Apart from striking and unique they are comfortable too. “I am partial to high heels, so I pay special attention to reinforcement. We don’t want the wearer to suffer!” After all, Sophia’s brand addresses dynamic women who are not afraid to stand out. “Like Julia Roberts, who I’d love to see in my shoes,” she concludes. Considering that they have already traveled to the US, it is a possibility. _ www.sophiavictoratou.com
