"Gwendolyn Huskens amazing Medic Esthetic footwear project. Gwendolyn is a student at the Design Academy in Eindhoven and her project toys with the taboos of physical deformities in our society - creating some very lovely shoes made out from medical supplies, such as synthetic plaster, bandages, stainless steel and band-aids." I'm thinking of creating an exhibition like this in the way that there is a theme and unusual materials.
These striking shoes are from Marloes ten Bhomer " Critically acclaimed designer Marloes ten Bhömer produces shoes that are both provocative and otherworldly. Her work fuses artistic and technological experiment in order to discover shoes anew." And also inspired hugely by Hussein Chalayan with his work shown below
What I like is the innovative use of material and the questioning of form. I also am in love with high fashion designers John Galliano, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, John Paul Gautier, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood. Hopefully you can see the direction I am going with my shoes now.

love the medical shoes - they remind me of the episode of Knowing me knowing you with Alan Partridge where he has the designer on who bases her designs on operations and such.
