Han Ji-hye’s shoe-designing dream
2009-05-12 01:47 am
East of Eden actress Han Ji-hye recently announced her latest endeavor: shoe design. In accordance with that goal, she took off to study the craft of shoemaking and design in Florence, Italy.
Han said of the experience, “The process of taking on the challenge of shoe design for the first time wasn’t easy, but seeing the shoes I designed being created, I feel really satisfied and amazed. I felt a lot of things as I saw the love and passion that the craftsmen had for the shoes. This opportunity will help me advance another step and grow in my passion as an actor.”
She’ll collaborate with existing shoe brand Jinny Kim to produce her own line, called “H by Jinny Kim.” She completed shoes in three different concepts: the “Bohemian Chic” look (free, romantic), “Gran Duomo” (inspired by the construction of old buildings and delicate patterns), and “Miss Artist” (colorful and feminine, inspired by the famed Uffizi Gallery)
What would a star’s extracurricular activity be if not taped for television broadcast? Han Ji-hye’s foray into shoe design will be featured on a program on cable channel O’live called “Shoes! My Dream! Part 1″; it airs on May 16.
