FOUNDER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR & DESIGNER

"ON MY SECOND DATE WITH MY HUSBAND, I SLIPPED ON BLACK ICE LEAVING ME WITH A TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL, A FRACTURED FACE, SKULL AND A SEVERE CONCUSSION - ALL BECAUSE I WAS WEARING LUXURY SHOES WITH ZERO TRACTION. NEVER WANTING ANOTHER WOMAN TO SUFFER THE SAME EXPERIENCE, I LAUNCHED FSP, WHICH QUICKLY BECAME MORE THAN A BRAND BORN OUT OF TRAUMA - IT BECAME A MOVEMENT...I CREATE LUXURY FOOTWEAR THAT SPEAKS TO WOMEN; STATEMENT PIECES THAT ARE JEWELRY FOR HER FEET, EMPOWERING HER WITH EVERY STEP. AS A WOMAN, I KNOW THAT WE ALWAYS WANT TO FEEL BEAUTIFUL, CONFIDENT, AND FEARLESS. THE NAME 'FEMMES SANS PEUR' WAS SO FITTING... THE TRANSLATION EMBODIES EVERYTHING I WANT OUR SHOE LOVER TO BE, BECAUSE WE KNOW WHEN A WOMAN FEELS FABULOUS IN HER OWN SKIN SHE IS UNSTOPPABLE!"
