Interview Highlights:

Q1: Who’s the girl that wears your shoes?

AW: It is the girl who cares about animals and cares about the environment but still wants to look as chic as possible.

Q2: In the past, you did a lot of Lucite heels. I see a little bit of that but not really much, what was the shift?

AW: We’re showing, kind of like, the favorites… what people really love, cuz like it’s a display. It’s going to be up for a month, so like some of the best kind of our looks. Here you’ll see like [what] I’m wearing: half wood half Lucite. [As she shows off her chunky heels that are just that, mix-media half wood and half lucite.]  And then …now, [also] we’re using just plain wood for this collection. For our covered heels.

Q3: So we’re curious… Why are you drawn for the more Chunky-er heels?

JD: Well because we’re New Yorkers and we walk around everywhere.

AW: Yeah we walk around. But we also have our stilettos. If you take a look, we definitely play with the stilettos. We know we need our red carpet look.

JD: We definitely try to reach every girl but I am definitely more drawn to the more chunky-heels. She’s [referring to Arden] drawn to the stiletto.

AW: I like to be five inches high. And..

JD: She’s great at it!

AW: Yeah, maybe I’m more drawn to the stiletto.

Q4: As female entrepreneur’s and shoe designers; what is your favorite part of the process?

JD: I think it is working with the new textiles that are available as opposed to what was available 10 years ago; as far as vegan textiles. Working together to inspire each other and what we are going to come up with. What’s going to be on our minds at that particular time we’ll be collaborating.

Q5: What are the websites you that you must visit daily?

AW: New York Times.

JD: For Me, I am a shopper, so (Julie laughs) …

AW: BBC.

JD: I’m looking at Shopbop, Gilt. I’m looking just mostly [at] the blogs and shops.

Q6: What is your favorite app on your phone?

AW: “Around Me”

JD: Right now it’s The Bump! [Laughter] (as she is clearly adorably & visibly pregnant).

Q7: Who’s your celeb or blogger style crush?

JD: I like Style Rookie a lot.

AW: Um… there’s so many… I don’t know…

…That’s Ok Arden we understand. Sometimes were stumped to name our favorites when there’s clearly so many to choose from. But we have to say we are also a fan of your style, as well as Waris Ahluwalia’s too. (Waris is pictured below with Arden at the installation).

Congrats Ladies and Girl Bosses! We love how fun and Chic your Collection is. We’re sure to see your shoes on the chicest ladies, both uptown and downtown, this Spring/Summer 2014.
