Renee Snelson launched her visionary shoe line in December 2004 in New York City. Renee refashions any type of footwear into one-of-a-kind, ready-to-wear art pieces. Interweaving styles and trends, she individually hand-embellishes each shoe with a selection of colorful elements--choice fabrics, intricate embroideries, ribbons, lace, and Swarovski crystals. Each pair is a vivid expression of form and function--posh, portable, traveling sculptures.
A true mixed-media artist, Renee Snelson creates exclusive clothing, hand-embellished shoes, and intricately embroidered pillows and ties.
Her signature style matches superior fabrics with a diverse array of materials to create personalized works of art. Inspired by the elegant deviations of nature and the vibrant New York music scene, Renee brings fanciful inventiveness to familiar materials.
Renee's process is musical and her tastes refined, yet she maintains a rebellious flair and a tendency toward the experimental. Like a sorceress of couture, she transforms ordinary wearables into objects d'art that are inventive, organic, and classic.
