Laura Unruh

Laura Unruh is a shoe designer.
She grew up surrounded by fashion as her mother was in the fashion business and as a young girl used to decorate her pink converse with puff paints and sharpies. 

Apparel design however, was not enough challenging for her talent, so she chose to design shoes, where "a millimeter is important to the last".

She has a passion for flat shoes and prefers to wear flats however she loves as well high heels "I prefer to wear flats because they're more comfortable although I do wear heels on occasion".

"I love designing high heels though because I'm able to be very dramatic with the styles.  I find it easier to add more of a women's sass and attitude into a heel than into a flat."

While filling the role as senior designer for Yellow Box, she also was the primary designer for Guess and Nine West. she was traveling around the world to research new trends. She is knowledgeable about every task in shoe sample making. 

Laura has a lot of experience, although she does not feel sure about starting up her own label because as she stressed it out, it is expensive, complicated, and it involves a lot of people. "I think when time is right, it will happen".
