Architect admires ‘abstract’ Prada shoes

03/01/2014
Anyone meeting Soo Chan for the first time would only have to listen to his views on footwear to know he was an architect.

Speaking to the Financial Times at the end of 2013 for its popular Power Dressing column, Singapore-based Mr Chan said his favourite footwear brand is Prada because the proportions of Prada shoes “tend to be more abstract and modern”.

“All my shoes are made of black leather and match the various suits and trousers I wear when I travel. I have lace-ups, slip-ons and loafers and generally prefer contemporary interpretations of classic men’s dress shoes,” he told the newspaper. “Prada is my go-to brand.”

Soo Chan is the principal and design director of SCDA Architects. Successful projects include the Ritz-Carlton hotel in New Delhi.
