CONCEPTUAL FORM OF WOMEN'S FOOTWEAR
There is hidden magic in a shoe. We wear them all our lives, even some fairy tales are devoted to them. They play a vital role in the quality of our lifestyle. The method conduct was a deconstruction, not only of a shoe, but also of the way of thinking about the shoe. The project combine the world of industrial design with the world of apparel design, art with craft, tradition with modernity – through the form of shoes but also in the used fabrics, like leather and plastic. They are a combination of traditional shoemaker’s methods with new technologies like 3D scan, 3D printing, CNC machining. Shoes cast from the material developed especially for this purpose are the results of collaboration with a chemist.
The essence of this project is form – with the reference to shape, material and emotions. The project was inspired by Japanese aesthetic wabi-sabi which is based on seeking beauty in imperfection. In this collection the shoes are regarded as sculptures which also serve in practical usage.
