What do you take into account when designing a shoe for a customer? What is your inspiration?
The customer has the power; I just make their dreams come true.
“Every shoe is a work of art, a new beginning where I place all expectations”
Is there any special shoe that you’ve enjoyed more to design?
Every shoe is a work of art, a new beginning where I place all expectations.
Can you give us some tips on how to choose, according to you, “the perfect shoe”?
It must be comfortable, unique; it has to make you feel powerful.
And what can we find in the Patricia Rosales collection for this summer?
Platforms and sandals with lots of swarovski. You have ateliers in Paris and Madrid, what’s the next step?
Dubai and Riyadh
Couture shoes, “small works of art”...
Of course, and always upon request. I work Haute Couture from the very start, but for next year, we are planning to open exclusive stores with Prêt-á-porter and Semi-Haute-Couture collections.
Is there anything we don’t know about Patricia Rosales that you’d like to add? (Laughs) I could add a thousand things; I’m a pretty complex woman.
Would you like to add a detail or comment?
I design for people that start to dress from their feet and that wish to feel free, which is the ultimate luxury

SUMMER 2012
How is the shoe making process? How long does it take to design a pair?
If it’s a tailored shoe, first we must digitalize the customer’s feet to make the last and fitting tests. The design is fast, I design on my computer with the customer; perhaps the customer
takes longer to choose the materials than I to design. The estimated delivery is between 60 and 90 days, depending on the model produced.
