About Ganor Dominic brand
It all starts with Why...
WHY?
Every face is one of a kind, we are all UNIQUE.
Ganor Dominic brand creates footwear to remind you about your own UNIQUENESS.
Our shoes are made to EMPOWER YOU in your daily life & EMBRACE YOUR SUPERPOWERS.
HOW?
As you may have noticed already, Ganor Dominic brand’s signature is 3D embossed face. You might be wondering- whose face is it? Why face on shoes?
It all started in 2015, the very early days of Ganor Dominic brand history, when the first collection was made inspired by the Ancient Greek Mythology. The distinctive face on our shoes belongs to Apollo-the God of Poetry, Sunlight and Music, representing all the positive energy.
Each Ancient Greek God is famous for their unique SUPERPOWERS. Most of Ganor Dominic shoes are named after different Greek Gods- few examples:
We believe that each of us has their own magical traits and powers. We encourage everyone to find & acknowledge your own SUPERPOWER and EMBRACE IT with every step you take!
WHAT?
Ganor Dominic brand was created in order to merge the gap between Art and Fashion.
The Creative Director Anna translates her obsession with Faces, People and Art through a range of Footwear & Accessories. Her admiration for Surrealism Art movement can be noticed by unexpected 3D elements on shoes - such as sculptural faces and body parts.
We do not consider Ganor Dominic products as a fashion object. Instead, we create shoes that would serve you as a wearable mascot reminding you of your own superpowers.
