Hester Vlamings

I was born on the 18th of januari in 1966 in Aphen a/d Rijn and grew up in Eindhoven. I studied fashion & design on the Academy of Arts in Arnhem and started to make handcrafted shoes in my studio at the age of 23. After 5 years of exposing my own shoes in fashiongaleries and gaining experience as a freelance designer for Sacha. I started as designer for the famous dutch brand Bronx. After 2 years I created some remarkable slingback- & sandal moccassin designs for Mag Megamoks which were never seen before and copied as hell. After 3 more years I managed the whole collection of Wrangler Footwear. After that I took a sabbatical and started to devellop my own collection with the help of my friends in shoebiz. This coöperation came to glory with the shoes you see on my webpage www.hestervlamings.com
