Launched in 1991 by founders Kari Sigerson and Miranda Morrison, who met at New York's Fashion Institute of Technology, Sigerson Morrison quickly established a cult following for its sophisticated, trend-defying footwear. The brand was built on the philosophy that style, not passing fashion, is key, resulting in shoes celebrated for their clean lines and modern aesthetic. Early collections were handmade in a small studio, and the brand's immediate success led to it being carried by high-end retailers like Bergdorf Goodman and earning a CFDA Perry Ellis Award for Best New Accessory Design in 1997.
