A look back behind the scenes at the frenzied months I spent giving birth to SS22 before giving birth to two beautiful humans. I was feeling inspired albeit anxious! There was a fire lit under my butt to bring projects to completion, to prepare my business for taking maternity “leave” (I’ve since learned that it’s only possible to downshift), and to pour every last ounce of creative energy into my first born baby, Zou Xou before motherhood took me on an unknown adventure. #1 A flat lay of ideas, colors and references I like before I’ve connected them to a feeling/theme. #2-4 The Franca flat from sketch to mock-up. #5 Caught with my pants down making content. #6 Pinning it all up before meeting with the pattern maker. I’m still in 2nd gear behind the scenes, figuring out how to integrate being a twin mom with being a business owner. Will share more updates from BTS soon as our fall collection comes together. A big thank you for your support! xx Katherine #behindthescenes #creativeprocess #designprocess #zouxou #handmadeshoes #slowfashion
