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???

The hands shoes are AH-mazing. They're seriously going to give me nightmares now that I can't have them (no really, I get nightmares about clothes that I desire). If you ever get any of your shoes made, I would be one of your first customers without a doubt.

I REALLY want the hands shoes!!! I made some ostrich feather cuffs to go with my black platform booties. I was inspired by Clydesdale horses. lol I get lots of compliments from random strangers when I wear them.
