A conversation with Fashion Mogul of Kruzin Footwear: Alessandra Gold
S
ome people are just impressionable. Such is the feeling that we felt about Alessandra Gold, the Creative Director of KRUZIN Footwear, Brazilian of origin, she has completed her studies at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York where she had the opportunity to become well anchored in the Fashion Industry. There is much to learn from her when it comes to women piercing the ceiling of entrepreneurship. "KRUZIN Footwear is not for the faint of heart; its bold and
extravagant designs are tailored for strapping confident wearers who seek to live an inspired life, always proud, always in the moment. " We had the privilege of sitting with her to get to know her beginnings and what she plans on doing with the future: Why have you chosen shoes over clothing for your designing career? I actually did, I did apparel and clothing design at FIT in New York. Actually, that is my major, And, I opened several stores, and I just realized through my years with women, that no matter what size they wore in clothing the shoes will always fit. So, by them uttering "Oh god, I'm a two." "Oh god, I'm a 16." "Oh god, I'm a 14." the shoes are always a size seven. (laughs) And I realized that, maybe they were unhappy about the head or unhappy about their body. But, they were happy about the shoes. I love it, it's really cool. Then I thought, shoes give you an opportunity to show who you are without too much commitment. Meaning, some people don't want to wear the crazy clothes, the crazy earrings, or change the color of their hair, or worry about what to put on their face, or around their body it changes you. But, if I see you behind a desk and you're wearing all black, and I think she's somebody boring, sitting over there and then all of a sudden you come out of the desk and you had these crazy shoes on and I just think, oh maybe I do not know her. Maybe I want to know her. Shoes give you an opportunity to push the envelope without compromising the comfort zone. So, shoes you can always push the envelope, so if people think they've got you figured out, the shoes will tell you otherwise.

RSATIONS ART BASEL A LOOK BACK AT PAST
The program will begin on Thursday, December 7 with the Premiere Artist Talk with Charles Gaines (b. 1944) who will have a sitespecific commission at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) Miami and discuss his work with Bryan Stevenson. Further artist talks will take place throughout the week, including a discussion with Lars Jan (b. 1978) and Isaac Julien (b. 1960) on how artists respond to climate change through their practices, and Yto Barrada (b. 1971) and Daniel Knorr (b. 1968) in conversation with Philipp Kaiser, Curator of Art Basel's Public sector, on art in public territories. ‘Is Culture in the Americas in Big Trouble?’ will address the current threats to art and culture in the midst of a major conservative shift in politics and changes in economies. In light of recent trends in the art market, ‘Global Business Models’ will discuss the different ways in which museums and galleries are responding to the increasing pressure to participate in the global artworld, while ‘Is Innovation Enough for Middle-Market Galleries?’ will explore the rise in new itinerant gallery models and communal sharing systems. 'Beyond Collecting: What is Patronage?' will focus on collectors who have been
expanding their participation in art in different ways over the past years, discussing their approach to commissioning new works, opening foundations and supporting museums and publications. Other highlights include ‘LA/LA and Institutional Collaboration’, which will use Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA as a reference point to examine how institutions can encourage the growth of regional art scenes; ‘Digital Museums and Virtual Audiences’, focusing on digital innovation and how new technology is starting to leave a deeper mark on the museum world; and 'I Was Raised on the Internet’, which brings together curators from three major institutions that collaborate on exhibitions investigating the effects of the Internet on contemporary art. Conversations is held daily from Thursday, December 7 to Sunday, December 10 at the Banyan Room in the Botanical Garden. The program is open to the public and free of charge. All Conversations panels will also be live streamed on Art Basel's YouTube channel and on the show’s website: artbasel.com/ miamibeach/conversations.
