shoe-tastic 10/16/2009
I've been noticing some interesting trends lately...shoes sure have come a long way in the last couple years... Some of them are definitely innovative and inventive but I'm still not sure that I would go so far as to actually buy or wear them. I'd have to say after looking up several designers, Marloes ten Bhömer's designs are probably my favourite. Her shoes look more like sculptures, where she uses a single piece of material and sculpts it into a conceptual shoe form. I like how she uses material to create overlapping planes and forms, akin to origami...engineered origami. Her black carbon fiber shoe (below) would be my top choice. Minimal, sleek, architectural, black, all things that catch my eye.                 |
