I always loved embroidered slippers that aristocratic ladies would work as Christmas presents for their husbands, but I wanted to do something a bit less stuffy, so I mutilated a worn-out pair of trainers (Adidas Gazelle as I am sure you will have noticed), and scanned them to convert into an embroidery pattern. They were rather expensive to have made up, but then again, I went to the best bespoke shoemaker I could find, George Cleverly in the Royal Arcade.
And no, I don't actually wear them.
Genius! Idea, execution, endresult.
ReplyDeleteEspecially that you used worn-out trainers, that adds new layers of meaning. Truely a work of art!
Combined with technical skill and functionality it makes it my favourite kind of art. Great colour too. Great colour variations.
Really wonderful :)
funny shoes!!
