SEE: Lat­est RUTHIE DAVIS designs on Shoed-In Magazine

One of our favorite shoe design­ers, Ruthie Davis, was dis­cussing her Spring 2012 col­lec­tion with Haute Liv­ing. Of the col­lec­tion, Ruthie explained that the bright col­ors were inspired by the idea of “liv­ing life” and a Palm Springs mirage. Fancy! The inter­view offers insight into Ruthie’s begin­nings in the fash­ion world and her work ethic, both admirable.

Haute Liv­ing: You launched your com­pany in 2006. Look­ing back, what do you think is the key to your success?

A: The key to my suc­cess is a com­bi­na­tion of absolute pas­sion for what I do com­bined with hard work and skills.  I waited to launch my own brand until I had the resume of skills and an MBA in Entre­pre­neur­ship to back up run­ning a start-up busi­ness.  I also eat, sleep and dream shoes 24/7.  My father was also a CEO and instilled within me the absolute neces­sity of being hon­est, hard-working and dig­ni­fied in my life and my busi­ness affairs.  I’ve found this con­cept has been key­stone of my life across the board.

The Ruthie Davis “Hori­zon” was also fea­tured in the very first issue of Shoed-In Mag­a­zine!
