The Heel Is the Attitude

The Heel Is the Attitude

Some heels are just shoes. Others, for me, are a way of standing — not only physically, but also mentally.

When I started designing the cigarette heel, I wasn't chasing trends or trying to reinvent the stiletto. I was looking for a shape that could say everything I needed to, without saying a word. A silhouette that felt deliberate, decisive, bold — but never aggressive. Something elegant, yes, but with a hidden tension.

Because for me, the heel isn't a matter of height. It's a matter of intention.
It's not there to impress or decorate. It's there to support you, to shift your posture, your presence, your energy. And that slight vertical cut of the cigarette heel does exactly that.

This type of heel isn't made to follow rules or meet expectations.
You don't wear it because the outfit needs it.
You wear it because you want to feel something — sharper, more precise, a little more yourself.

Whether under a slip dress, a pair of wide trousers, or a simple trench coat, it always does the same thing: it pulls everything together — your posture, your mood, your presence — with a single, silent line.

These heels weren't created to wait for the right occasion.
They were created to remind you that the occasion is you.

FAQ 

What makes a cigarette heel different from a regular stiletto?
It’s more sculptural and sharply defined. It’s slightly slimmer and more vertical, with a silhouette that feels precise — less decorative, more intentional. It’s not about showing off. It’s about holding your space, quietly.

Are they comfortable for everyday wear?
Yes, especially if you’re used to heels. I design each pair with a careful balance between line and support. The cigarette heel gives you lift, but with a centered, stable feel. It’s a heel that walks with you, not against you.

Who are these heels really made for?
For women who know what they want. Who dress for themselves. Who don’t need a reason to wear something beautiful — they just do. These shoes don’t speak for you. They echo you.

Can I style them casually, or are they too formal?
You can absolutely dress them down. I love seeing them under denim, oversized shirts, or even tailored cargo pants. The elegance of the heel brings contrast. And contrast is always interesting.

Do I need a special occasion to wear them?
Not at all. You are the occasion. These heels weren’t made to wait in the closet. They were made to be part of your life — whether it’s an ordinary Tuesday or a moment you’ll remember forever.
