When and how did you start<br />
creating?<br />
When I was a little girl, I would<br />
stand in front of stained glass<br />
windows and stare at shoes, mostly<br />
the ones that made a statement.<br />
However, that stopped happening<br />
over time. What I saw became<br />
boring.<br />
different spices, according to my day,<br />
humor and cravings.<br />
Salt and pepper are a must. Curry,<br />
sweet paprika, nutmeg and mustard<br />
are some of my favorites.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How do you define yourself?<br />
I pursue my goals and I don’t think<br />
there are impossible things. I do not<br />
sit idly. I knock on doors. I walk<br />
forward. I make mistakes and try<br />
again. I’m also always wearing a<br />
good pair of shoes. My designs<br />
reflect who I am. I take risks by<br />
making combinations between<br />
textures and colors. I play with the<br />
preset limits as to what a shoe should<br />
look like. I work a lot in comfort. My<br />
idea is to take down the idea of a<br />
shoe as an obstacle, so to be used<br />
both day and night without ever<br />
losing elegance. I don't need to make<br />
a serial production. I'd rather have<br />
each shoe to be considered a unique<br />
piece of art.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I deeply felt the need to make a<br />
change. I studied with a master<br />
shoemaker, Fernando López Bizcaíno.<br />
When I tried on the first shoe<br />
that I had put together with my bare<br />
hands, the desire to create a full<br />
collection was immense. A genuine<br />
love was born and it still grows day<br />
by day. I have a lot to say, a lot to tell<br />
and making shoes is the way I found<br />
to put it out there.<br />

What is your favorite spice?<br />

Did you face any difficulties<br />
being a woman artist in<br />
Buenos Aires?<br />
Personally, in the fashion design<br />
world, it has not been a problem for<br />
me to be a woman. I have had good<br />
experiences. I think nowadays it is an<br />
environment where both women<br />
consumers and women designers<br />
have a strong participation.<br />
Although the conversation is slowly<br />
changing, I sadly can’t speak for<br />
every one of them.<br />

Who is your favorite Spice<br />

I would combine the comfort of Mel<br />

Maria Koch is at the helm of 032c Apparel, one of the most likely brand to invade your Instagram feed this autumn.<br />
032c Apparel's bold red logo is gaining popularity: it was most recently modeled by DJ superstar Peggy Gou and<br />
digital sensation @lilmiquela. Prior to her position, Koch was classically trained in fashion design. Her CV shows her<br />
affinity for minimalism and practicality: she was a womenswear designer for Jil Sanders, Prada, Marios Schwab and<br />
served as a special consultant for Yeezy. Since 2017, she has been developing 032c Apparel in partnership with her<br />
husband Joerg, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of 032c and Mark Goering, 032c's Fashion Director. This year alone, the<br />
brand premiered its menswear runway show at Pitti Uomo and dropped special items including shoelaces, scotch tape<br />
and underwear at pop-up installations in Ginza, Ibiza, and Kreuzberg.<br />
