Nellie Lim Shares Her Footwear Philosophy

Are you more of a collector or wearer?

Definitely a wearer! I don’t believe in collecting shoes without wearing them.

What started your obsession with shoes?

Nothing really. I just like having options when it comes to shoes.

What was the first pair of shoes that you really wanted and saved up for?

It was almost a decade ago! A pair of strappy Isabel Marant heels that were sold out everywhere. I found mine on Vestiaire Collective for about $1,500.

Your biggest shoe splurge?

My Edgardo Osorio for Salvatore Ferragamo heels with colourful feathers – it probably cost around $2,500.

What’s the most special shoe to you?
