Her brand is called ACCA and the logo is a rabbit.

In the interview, she mentioned the experience of making these shoes, ZHAO Ruoda’s guidance, Jaff’s contribution and the practice with WM1978.

The original comments of the judges are as follows:

A shoe inspired by Gothic buildings and design. It had a seamless main piece of the upper, handmade buckles, and an intricate heel build. There were great design parts like the fringes and the special cap toe seam. It scored really high on design, particularly, and of course, was good in other categories as well.

Everything is made by Celia Huang, who runs her own brand Acca, apart from the buckles that are made by Howe Jewelry Design Studio. Celia studied art in Italy, and has made shoes for two years, and has already reached an impressive level in her work and craftsmanship.

The design scored the highest, and the accessories were selected from a design studio in New Zealand.

Even though the competition works don’t really emphasize the last (because many shoes are so extreme that they can hardly be worn), I still pay attention to the last shape and the overall feeling at first sight.

This last is extremely classical with a certain degree of Italian style. This last shape is consistent with ZHAO Ruoda’s inheritance of Stefano Bemer and HUANG Yan’s low-key and introverted personality.

The making is primitive as bespoke shoes and there is no extremely exaggerated waist.

The last is advanced without drilling, which is the right way.

The high score of vamp design comes from three places.

The first place is the decorative connection at the triple joint, which has never been seen before. It’s not that I’ve never seen a wide connection. I’ve also seen a three-line connection on J.FitzPatrick ‘Magnolia’, but this longitudinal line, and it’s so wide, is extremely challenging to design, especially such a delicate last. How can this wide element be integrated without destroying exquisiteness?

Her realization is to increase the complexity of the instep (the second place), so that the whole is complicated, and at the same time, the “grain” on the triple joint echoes the density of the pressing teeth/stitches along the strip. It’s a brilliant move.

The third place is apple leather shoes. From the picture, I can’t figure out whether the triple joint is a purely decorative stitch or a connection is provided, but from the shoe body and heel, we can see that there is a connection only at the heel of the internal test.

Although I didn’t see the radical from the shoe body, the waist of the shoe still reached the limit, which may be related to her practice in WM1978.

These metal sheets and rivets in the heel design, the judges said it was Gothic style, maybe it was the dome of the church?

The iron toe piece is also highly technical, and the dome and artistic style reflect each other.

I have to say, in the metal fittings, the artistic level of these shoes is extremely high!

The eighth place is amazing for shoemakers who have only studied shoemaking for two years. Huang Yan’s academic and artistic background is naturally the foundation. After she opened the order this year, the practice of fitting will make her more mature.
