Alexander Khorikian is a designer and artisan, based in Arnhem, The Netherlands, creating couture footwear for romantics who want to celebrate a special moment or just shine!
Khorikian: ‘To spark wonder… is to ignite one’s imagination, joy and admiration, create light and find beauty in darkness. With a strong passion for timeless elegance and striving a genuine connection with each couture client, a new design entity, a unique pair, comes to life.
Driven by the goal to elevate one’s beauty, I seek an aesthetic balance between classic and contemporary lines, materials, and production techniques. I like to play with proportions to create tension and accentuate specific shapes, for a distinctive look. Every pair of shoes is meticulously designed and crafted, inviting romantics to elevate their senses—to walk with confidence, express themselves and evoke wonder.
My professional journey moved through luxury automotive and medical design sectors. Combined with my artisanal shoemaking knowledge, I offer a rich blend of experiences, enabling me to pursue a aesthetic balanced design, surpassing conventions and logic. I take my craft very seriously, it keeps me curious and… well it keeps me going.
My Atelier is my haven—a space where I explore designs freely, experiment with materials, and discover inspiring connections. I love to share the process with clients and patrons. With as result: The thrill of witnessing a design come to life, moving with the client’s confident strides, remains unparalleled to me.
In a world increasingly experienced digitally, with upcoming technologies as AI etc.; I want to help people towards a artisanal made, visceral experience. Designed and created with personal attention and real emotion: Slow down and experience, celebrate life. Be authentic, romantic, free.’
