While the office is busy planning next month’s visit to Sumbandila, one of our three charities in Africa, a Charity Gala in New York, a few other events (we will keep you updated) and we are also trying to get everything ready for the Cash & Rocket Tour 2015. We do always enjoy following the Cash & Rocket Ladies and their work, which not only make them successful and powerful business women but also creates a big part of what Cash & Rocket is all about
This week we have interviewed shoe designer Chloe Green about her new collection, which will be launched in New York next month.
Chloe attended this years tour and will be joining the Cash & Rocket Tour 2015 as well. Read along to find out about her CJG shoe collection and why we love having Chloe on the Cash & Rocket team;
What is the most important thing when shopping for a new pair of shoes?
When I go shopping for a new shoe I look for comfort! There are so many shoes out there but they are just not wearable. You think you will be able to do a night out, but you end up having a miserable time because your feet hurt!!
What was your inspiration for your new shoe collection?
This Season I was inspired by the Rock Chick Edgy Chic look. I keep my collections small and focus on every design. I have 12 styles this season from an over the knee biker boot to a classic peep toe.
What or who inspired you for the design?
Every season I sit down with a group of friends and we go over what we would like to see in our wardrobe and what we can’t find. I then get designing!!
How would you describe your CJG Collection in three words?
Edgy, Chic, Effortless
What has been the most important thing while starting up your own brand?
I think one of the most important things is identity. For me it’s the Greensole! Hopefully when people see that they know they are CJG’s
Who is your idol?
Nicole Richie
What advice would you give a Cash & Rocket Tour Lady in regards to her shoe collection for the tour?
Make sure that your shoes are comfortable! I know we all try and be a little fashionable even though we are sitting in a car for hours, So last year I went for a heavy buckled biker boot just to get me into the mood! But of course I had my platforms in my suitcase to slip into for one of our amazing evening events. I forgot about comfort it was all about looking fabulous
What shoes would you wear on the Cash & Rocket 2015?
2015 for me will be about a great trainer. Valentino designed one for the tour last year that might have to be my everyday shoe! But of course that could all change and I will have options.
Which pair of shoes from your collection is your favourite?
I love my over the knee biker boot. “BASS LINE”. It’s comfortable, it’s wearable, you can go from day to night easy and fashionable – what more could a girl want…
What does Cash & Rocket mean to you?
Being a part of the Cash & Rocket Tour last year really changed my life. When I realized how many lives I could change and help 3 charities nothing was going to stop me. I put my all into fundraising and I was determined to make as many people aware and help me make a difference. It looks glamourse and fun and you meet all of these empowering women with determination and drive – real teamwork. I am looking forward to another challenge next year where I hope we raise more money and awareness for our 3 amazing charities.
