Jean-Michael Cazabat began his career as a shoe designer twenty-five years ago in Southern France. He started off as a buyer for French shoe designer Charles Jourdan, and later became president of the prestigious shoe brand Stephane Kelian before launching his eponymous shoe line in 1999. Today, Cazabat is known for his ultra-feminine collection of shoes that feature glitter-specked suedes, metallic finishes, color blocking, and textural elements.
