When and how did you start
creating?
When I was a little girl, I would
stand in front of stained glass
windows and stare at shoes, mostly
the ones that made a statement.
However, that stopped happening
over time. What I saw became
boring.
different spices, according to my day,
humor and cravings.
Salt and pepper are a must. Curry,
sweet paprika, nutmeg and mustard
are some of my favorites.
How do you define yourself?
I pursue my goals and I don’t think
there are impossible things. I do not
sit idly. I knock on doors. I walk
forward. I make mistakes and try
again. I’m also always wearing a
good pair of shoes. My designs
reflect who I am. I take risks by
making combinations between
textures and colors. I play with the
preset limits as to what a shoe should
look like. I work a lot in comfort. My
idea is to take down the idea of a
shoe as an obstacle, so to be used
both day and night without ever
losing elegance. I don't need to make
a serial production. I'd rather have
each shoe to be considered a unique
piece of art.
I deeply felt the need to make a
change. I studied with a master
shoemaker, Fernando López Bizcaíno.
When I tried on the first shoe
that I had put together with my bare
hands, the desire to create a full
collection was immense. A genuine
love was born and it still grows day
by day. I have a lot to say, a lot to tell
and making shoes is the way I found
to put it out there.

Did you face any difficulties
being a woman artist in
Buenos Aires?
Personally, in the fashion design
world, it has not been a problem for
me to be a woman. I have had good
experiences. I think nowadays it is an
environment where both women
consumers and women designers
have a strong participation.
Although the conversation is slowly
changing, I sadly can’t speak for
every one of them.
Who is your favorite Spice
Girl?
I would combine the comfort of Mel
C and the extravagance of Ginger
Spice.

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