Hi! I'm Cristina Ehm and welcome to ShoeTease: your shoe & styling hub offering services and resources to help women style their outfits from the shoes, up!
As a designer and stylist with over 20 years of experience, I created ShoeTease in 2010 to answer your questions about shoes & styling. I have also expanded into offering offering personalized styling services and accessible DIY capsule wardrobes.
From how to style your shoes (and outfits from the shoes up!) to capsule wardrobe guides, ShoeTease has become the fashion & shoe blog where up to half a million ladies drop by for styling and wardrobe advice.
Here you will find all the way to style your shoes and outfits, while learning about the latest on shoe trends and shoe care.
My Background in Women's Fashion:
- I am a French tailoring-trained designer, and I studied at ESMOD Paris. I specialized in women's fashion design and pattern making, yet I always had a passion for shoes & accessories.
- While working at Hugo Boss in Switzerland, I started my hands-on shoe design training alongside the immensely talented Manuele Bianchi of Edmundo Castillo & Casbia fame.
- I then headed into a designer role at Italy's largest fast-fashion company Vestebene, learning about how to communicate with overseas distributors and designing clothes for mid to plus-sized women.
- Once I felt I had honed my skills, I began my freelance journey working with trend-forecasting and design labs in Turin, Italy, and Paris, France.
- In 2009, I headed back to Toronto to design & develop private-label shoes for the Canadian market.
- After starting ShoeTease, I went on to design and produce Shoefie-worthy Pombons Shoe clips, in 2019–and here we are!
I am currently using my hard-earned fashion training & previous communications degree to work in both the digital and physical worlds, helping style women of all ages, body shapes and backgrounds!
All the while, I continue creating updated capsule wardrobe guides to help women look stylish no matter their fashion style over on my Etsy Shop.
In my free time, I research & create content for my other websites, discussing what I've learned about footcare, and also review all kinds of over-40 beauty & wellness tools on another platform.
If you need personal styling help, feel free to reach out via my services page on my styling website, or join my FREE FaceBook Group where I help women of all ages with what to wear!
