MAGIC is just around the corner and is always known to bring the likes of fashion designers, celebrities and everything in between to Las Vegas! This coming August 17th to 19th Zendaya will launch her new shoe collection, Daya, at FN PLATFORM at MAGIC. Below are comments from a brief interview with the starlet about what to expect from her first shoe collection.
1.
Tell us a little bit about the line, Daya, and what we can expect to see this
coming spring?
As you know, this is our
first collection debuting this Spring. You can expect to see options, options,
options! We have a lot of sandals, wedges, and even our version of the classic
pump.
2. What was your inspiration for these designs? Is there a specific woman you’re
designing for?
I was inspired by women.
My stylist, Law and I really wanted to design for EVERY woman from the girl
who needs shoes for her high school dance or her first date, to my sporty girls
who don't wear heels and flats for my busy moms. Again, something for every
woman.
3. What are some of your favorite footwear trends of the moment?
I really, really love
the classic pump. I think it's a shoe that can be worn with anything. I wear
mine in my everyday life and on the red carpet.
4. Any favorite pieces from the upcoming collection?
I'm OBSESSED with EVERY
single piece! Every shoe has a piece of me in it. I know it sounds cliché but
it's just like asking a parent to pick a favorite child. It's impossible for
me to pick a favorite.
5. How did this brand partnership come about?
We put it out there that
we wanted to create a collection of shoes and we took a couple of meetings.
After we met with Joe from Titan, we just knew it was the right choice. We felt
like we were doing business with family, and that's exactly how it's been so
far.
6. What are you most excited to see at MAGIC?
I've never actually been
to MAGIC. Funny, I'm most excited to see people's reaction to the collection.
Of course I plan to sneak away to see other collections that I've never heard
of as well as those that are familiar to me.
7. Why did you choose to launch the collection at FN PLATFORM at MAGIC specifically?
FN PLATFORM at MAGIC is,
in my opinion, the best place for designers to bring their collections to be
seen by thousands of people.
8. Anything else you want your fans to know about the upcoming collection?
Like I said before, I
designed this collection for EVERY woman. Whether you're a girly girl or a tomboy,
Daya's got you covered!
