HERE'S THE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW FOR #THEFASHIONCODE 

Why did you choose the world of foot wear? We're there any family influence ?

I think it really startedwhen I was young – I used to be a real tomboy and hated wearing shoes at all. My equestrian boots really changed my mind – they were the first pair of shoes I fell in love with and now shoes are everything!

PAMELA COSTANTINI when was born?

Pamela Costantini was born in 2014. The SS 2015 is our first collection , we are very excited and hope our future collection will have the same positive response of this one.

What it inspires your collections ?

I'm very inspired by the 90s grunge aesthetic - there is a nonchalance about it that always manages to look super cool. Also Helmut Newton photography - the feeling he is able to evoke 

through composition, color and subject. His images are really strong and instantly recognizable as his own - it's that sort of feeling I hope to evoke with my collection. The collection combines all 

these elements in an elegant way. I'd have to say the Thorn Sandal in Persico Fish Leather is my favorite style - it definitely encapsulates all of my influences perfectly."

What kind of woman wear your shoes?

"She's strong with limitless confidence. I think that is really the best accessory for a woman - self conviction really changes how you approach your life and others regard you."

Where can you find your collections ? Do you think export?

We had orders from a boutiques in Mexico City too; we are very pleased to have stores in latin America as my mother is Ecuatorian.
