ABOUT

Annette Habicht.
-Freelance artist/designer.

Graduate of the elite Städel School of Art in Frankfurt am Main.
Already during her studies she received awards and prizes for her detailed and lifelike portrait works.

Annette Habicht inherited a picturesque, historic estate from her grandfather.

There she runs a large studio and gives drawing lessons to young people and students.

Here she also creates portfolios for admission to relevant design courses.

In late 2020, the artist discovered an antique shoe sewing machine in a basement of her large historic estate.

What emerged from those humble beginnings in 2020 is now a true marvel!
Anyone who holds a pair of Annette Habicht shoes in their hands feels this gratitude and awe for such a miracle.

Since then, she has always been on the lookout for tanned linen or historic silk, old fabric scraps and torn scraps. Every manufacturing process of her shoes takes place in her atelier in Germany.

Her owncollections contain natural materials made with artisanal techniques in various disciplines such as painting or natural dyeing of fabrics with flowers and plants. There are elements of antique fabrics, ornaments and ruffles that add softness and texture to the collections. These elements are sewn with organic linen thread. The shoes are handmade and must dry in the attic for two days. The use of these materials preserves the quality and allows experimentation with the craft.
