We have already posted a note about the point of wearing high heels (please see: http://thehazardousarea.blogspot.com/2011/12/high-heels-high-hopes.html). This time my intention is to express our interest in shoes, as a piece of art.
Shoes are without any doubt the most important piece of one’s outfit. It’s them that protect humane delicate feet when we walk on hard or rocky ground. It’s them that simply keep us going. That is why shoes are the most adequate object to make a celebration out of.
Clearly, many top designers had the same impression and decided to devote a huge part of their talent to shoes. I could not help starting with Alexander McQueen, who’s footwear designs are due to their finessed shape by far one of the most interesting. The shoe construction influences the appearance of the whole silhouette. McQueen’s concentrated the main accent of the outfits on accessories, shoes, headpieces etc. His typical intention was to present shoes as the most striking part, either due to their shape or to their intensive colours and marvelous patterns. Maybe he wanted the element that keeps us on the surface of the Earth to be the one that is emphasized the clearest.
The designer Anastasia Radevich’s (www.anastasiaradevich.com) clearly inspired her beautiful and impressionable designs with McQueen’s creations. Her vision is although more “down to earth” due to the shoe’s “wearable” construction and she rather stays within the warm colour palette.
Some, as Kobi Levi, choose to create shoes which totally differ from the usual way of looking at footwear. His designs remind us rather of situations ( as the bubble-gum shoe) than of pictures or ideologies. There is nothing else left for us than to admire his vision! ……Cause these shoes are certainly not made for walking.
