Inspired by a mutual love of architecture and similar childhoods, surrounded by fashionable role models, Keren Longkumer and Valerie Quant Zecchetto focus on two important things while designing collections for their LA based footwear label LoQ: design and timelessness. This explains the quirky little details that has allowed them to reinvent the classics, while still maintaining quality and comfort. Block heels are just slightly oversized, jutting out from the under the soles of shoes and suede ankle boots have zippers that run along the front. My interest is piqued and I’m excited to see more from this duo!
