A Mother’s Muse: The Inspiration Behind the Korianna Line by Jessica Imhoff

A Mother’s Muse: The Inspiration Behind the Korianna Line by Jessica Imhoff

Jessica Imhoff

Inspired by her daughter, Jessica Imhoff crafted the Korianna collection as a reflection of love and artistry. The design’s soft palette and understated elegance reveal a quiet complexity, mirroring the emotional depth behind its creation. Every element demonstrates Jessica’s meticulous eye for balance and timeless form.

This design was named and inspired by my daughter, Korianna, who is my whole world. They are made in Italy from genuine Italian leather by a master craftsman of 20 years plus. This shoe is my children’s line called Korianna Kidz. 

I don’t think I could just take one each one was so much fun to make, and each of their own qualities that I love. 

My motivation is definitely my love for shoes. I’ve always been one to have way too many. I love the reaction that people gave when they buy a pair of my shoes and love them. They seem to make a lasting impression on everyone who gets a pair. 

My day in general is a bit of chaos, as I am also a student at Colorado Tech University in the United States. My day is usually quite busy. 

Whimsical, fun, and comfy.

I was just hoping to see the world is excited about my design as I was. 

I would bring shoes, and belt jewellery to life. Your accessories are brought to life with tradable charms and pieces. 

Vests and blazers. K would wear them in elementary school, and I loved them. Even if no one else did! 

I am in no hurry to make a ton of money off of my designs. I just do it for my love of shoes, so whatever happens happens. I love that they’ve come this far though!

Thierry Hermes. In 1837, he founded Hermes, and it is of top quality. I think anyone who can learn to make a quality product that can appeal to just about anyone is just brilliant. I would have to put that craftsmanship into my design for a pair of heels, of course! 

It means comfort and expressing yourself, and if you make a statement true, that's great. 

I guess only time will tell, we will have to see.

Everything around me at all times is an influence on my designs. Usually, people that I care about are what I name my designs after and just things that I like in general when it comes to fashion.

Don’t do it for the money to do it for the fun.

Life isn’t perfect, but your outfit can be!
