Taryn Rose Searches to Create the Perfect High Heel
By: Jennifer Diamond Oct. 06, 2014
Noted orthopedic surgeon, shoe designer and entrepreneur Taryn Rose has launched a Kickstarter campaign to create DRESR, the ultimate high heel shoes that aim to become the most comfortable and sexiest high heels ever made.
"My inspiration for the line is that all women want sexy, high heels that they can comfortably walk in. And thanks to designer Enrico Cuini, DRESR's shoes deliver more comfort and stability in the highest and sexiest styles of shoes," said Dr. Rose said.
The Kickstarter campaign aims to raise $100,000 over the next 30 days by reaching out to women who have battled with uncomfortable, ill-fitting high-heeled shoes their entire lives. To donate, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1827888163/a-high-heel-revolution .
Dr. Rose's celebrity following includes actresses Angela Bassett, Annette Bening, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Judd, singer Gwen Stefani and many more. With her sexy new line DRESR, Dr. Rose has garnered new admirers like Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, all of whom have embraced her campaign.
The secret behind the proposed new shoe line is the patented insole technology created by famed designer Enrico Cuini especially for the new DRESR line. Unlike all other insoles which only address the medial arch, shoes by Cuini support all three arches in the foot: medial, lateral, and transverse. Industrial materials, like carbon fiber and fiberglass, are used to deliver high performance wear and to shape a woman's arch for maximum sex appeal.
"Other heels support just one of the arches in your foot. Our amazing patented insole technology supports all three of them, giving you comfort, support and the confidence that you're walking in the best and most comfortable shoes ever designed," Dr. Rose said.
An orthopedic surgeon turned shoe designer, Dr. Rose married fashion and function in 1998 and changed the footwear industry forever with her best-selling, revolutionary line of shoes. Today, the revolution is back with DRESR and its innovative design and state-of-the-art technology.
Dr. Rose and Cuini first worked together in 1997 when Enrico first sketched shoes that would become a part of the first Taryn Rose shoe collection. Although they would ultimately go in separate directions, Dr. Rose grew her brand over the next 10 years into a company earning $40 million in revenue, while Cuini turned his attention to architecture, industrial design and engineering projects. Today, the duo is back with the imaginative and fashion-forward DRESR line that will change the way women feel about high heel shoes. Funds raised from the campaign will go toward creating molds for the new insole technology which will ultimately allow for the production of "Wing" insoles at lower cost than those made by hand.
To make the DRESR line happen Taryn is offering a slew of rewards for potential donors, both big and small. Among them are:
- For pledges of $25 or more, a DRESR Custom Keychain, using leather from the first production run of DRESR's winged shoes.
