35 years designing footwear
After a long journey, José de Mora looks back and can proudly say that a large number of prestigious international firms have placed their trust in his know-how.
The Andalusian designer constantly affirms that, for him, a shoe is like a work of art. And as with any good work, the maturation process is long and exciting. His sources of inspiration are multiple, but they always start from a common base: his roots in the Andalusian town of Valverde del Camino, an area with more than 150 years of shoemaking tradition.
José de Mora says that drawing inspiration from Andalusia is one of his secrets. There, he says, “art is endless and there is always something new that makes you create. You can go to Italy, to France; you can visit Paris, London, Venice, but this confluence of cultures and wisdom, and this art that exists in Andalusia is a source of wealth for creativity. A designer is not really good if he does not get to know Andalusia.”
