Q & A with Harley
- What was it about the project that interested you?
My every day uniform is a knee length printed dress and easy flats I can run around in, especially ballet flats. When I DJ in the evenings, I’ll often wear heels but have a pair of fold up flats in my bag. When I discovered Butterfly Twists, it was the perfect fit. Cute, comfortable flats that look and feel great. And they even have foldable shoes that still look great! BT and I agree that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style.
- How did you decide on the designs, what influenced your design choices?
I wanted the shoes to be simple and timeless while still being playful and special using prints from my line HVN. I kept the shoes quite classic so that they could be paired with every outfit, but then made the details exciting and fun - which is very true to my brand.
- What’s your favourite shoe from the collection and how would you style it up?
I really love the gingham Carlas because I think they are the perfect summer shoe. I see myself wearing them with dresses of all lengths, but also with denim. You can’t go wrong with a gingham espadrille!!
