Risqué Designs by Tal de Guzman is a shoe company that utilizes Philippine silk, weaves, and woodcarvings to create custom-made footwear. "I've had so many collections since I started, but most of them revolve around Filipino themes or highlighting Filipino craftsmanship," Guzman tells POPSUGAR. "I've had designs featuring endemic Philippine flora and fauna, mythology, childhood games, marine life, architecture, and others."
