In Their Shoes

As a tribute to the great British footwear industry, the Cordwainers’ Company has recorded a series of podcasts.

Kristina Blahnik, CEO of the famous Blahnik family brand, is the latest footwear star to join the conversation with Katie Greenyer, talking about her passion for footwear, family and the distinction of running a business synonymous with luxury shoes.

Kristina talks about her training in architecture and how that rigour translates into footwear – design, structure, materiality and more. She believes that we have a responsibility to support the artisan and the real craft of shoemaking.

Kristina is the latest footwear interviewee to join the Cordwainers’ celebrated podcast series following on from the brilliant Tim Cooper, cobbler-in-chief of Oliver Sweeney.
