In 1979 Talman opened her first atelier in Zürich, where she produced a small range of handmade shoes. The pieces, striking for their lightness and unusual colouring, were considered innovative at the time and led to a collaboration with a bigger distributor. In 1980 she showed her first collection under the label of Stefi Talman. Among the only four creations, which were available in a wide range of colours, was a shoe called ZIP. A half-boot, with a zipper crossing the instep at an angle. This creation, which quickly became a fashion sensation and has been frequently imitated, awoke the global fashion industry’s interest and introduced the Stefi Talman label to an international clientele. The label ceased production in 1986 after seven collections and several changes of producers and manufacturers.
