Shoes are a vital necessity to any outfit they can either

enhance other key garment pieces to fully encapsulate aesthetically pleasing
look.
Today we see shoe designers embarking wearable art shoe
designs more so than ever never ceasing in delivering us the most epic shoe
designs that are truly awe inspiring wearable art.
A popular trend amongst wearable art shoe technology
designers is light technology using LED lights within shoe design to create
that never seen before shoe that looks as though they could be from out of this
world. The notion of light as a form of inspiration in shoe design has been
heavily used by emerging designers and commercial alike in which they have
delivered us range of shoes that are breathe taking to say the least.
We will be taking a look at a collections of some the most
weird but wonderful shoe designs which are the epiphany of epic statement shoes
and where technology is today in terms of limitless limitations. In celebration
of these eccentric shoes we outlined the top 5 best designs for you to lust and
marvel over as they explore new shoe concepts and functionalities.
One
Benjamin John Hall and Alexandra Groover did a fashion and
art collaboration that is pinnacle of the movement of wearable art technology
is at today. The pair devised a design for a shoe that took on the inspiration
of birth, life death and resurrection experiences. They introduced these
manifestations onto the shoes in a
clinical setting, which they depict the final outcome of the shoe as the final
piece.
The most show stopping piece of the collection is the
‘Lazurus Wedge’, this takes on the inspirational notion of resurrection. The
shoe is literally set on fire to tighten up the leather for a more desirable
fit; it then emerges from the flame reborn into the final state of new form.

For an unconventional shoe that will bring a smile to your
face look no further than the work of Maskull Lasserre. This project has been
put together by designer Lasserre and Outliners, the shoes which they design
are more than comical with their realistic sole to the shoe that has been
carved to mimic the foot of an animal. What is so great about these shoes is
that they possess elements of true artistry but you as the wearer can create
art by creating intriguing footprints wherever the shoes take you.

Shoes created solely from paper to tell a personal story is
the work of Julie VonDerVellen. She replaces fabric as paper and creates dainty

incorporates fabric manipulation of ruffles within the design.
