Adriana Teldaldi

A new shoe fashioned out of old newspaper cuttings was Adriana Teldaldiโ€™s idea, which she realised as a diploma project for her graphic design studies. โ€œNews and information โ€“ alongside the actual creative process โ€“ decisively determine the development of trends also in the footwear industry,โ€ explains the young Scotswoman who actually hails from Aberdare near Newport. โ€œThis style is a British one-off piece featuring news from my home town; a reflection, as it were, of one day but by no means as ephemeral as yesterday’s newspaper.โ€ Beyond this, the design also toys with the contrast between hard facts and an airy, fashionable sense of fun โ€“ as evidenced by the sophisticated heel decoration that gives this shoe that certain something. โ€œI love shoes and am very interested in fashion,โ€ says Adriana Teldaldi, adding โ€œI therefore allow myself to be surprised and inspired by unusual creations.โ€
