zapatito blanco, zapatito azul

here are some more shoe designs I've whipped up recently...


'hands' shoe, I was thinking of the hands being 3D and of the same material as the rest of the shoe. I thought of them as "coming out" of the shoe itself... not unlike a swamp monster grabbing at the foot of an unsuspecting victim... muahaha!

(some of my shoes might have creepy connotations, please beware)



When I drew this one I was all about the swirly lines... I imagine this one made out of black suede with gold leather piping. High arches are hard to come by these days so I guess it would also give the illusion of an impossibly high arch.


because every girl needs a fierce chunky mary jane in her wardrobe. I can't see these in any material that isn't black or cherry red patent leathuh.




Since I'm kinda over studs but I still like shiny crap, I thought using broken mirrors on a heel would be awesome. I love stars so I'm thinking a big fat mirrored one on the heel a' la Louboutin Anemone would definitely make me wanna go work my junk on the nearest dancefloor (my badly lit room and computer speakers will have to suffice)


another wing sandal... I've always loved feathers so I went nuts here. I would use charcoal grey feathers with a gold leather strap (and platform) to hold the foot in. The feathers are layered over an inverted comma heel. I think Tisci needs this sandal for his next Givenchy couture presentation!!! Riccardo ci sei???

ZZZZZZZZ..........

I CAN SERIOUSLY MAKE ONE OF THESE

Check out this Chanel from the Mobile Art exhibit... I imagined some of those would be up for sale but seriously?? 9800 dollas for plexiglass, beads and wires?

Pursuing her passion for the fashion industry Carolina has made her focus “Shoes”, an object of every woman's adoration, making a statement with her own style.

Besides occasionally choosing some brands that I personally dislike, the photos still transmit a refined taste level. I can't wait to see more from her, although I wish she would choose less "it-items" every now and then!

Be sure to check out her art as well... it's colorful and summery... and well, very Mexican <3
