The strangeness of fashion circle is reflected in all aspects, especially shoes, which is the "hardest hit".
Every time I browse the e-commerce website, I will find many strange anti-human shoes on it, which sometimes leads me to go shopping or just to decompress and be happy.
It seems that the combination of random shapes, gorgeous and highly saturated color matching, unconstrained design elements and scribbled logo has become a series of "I can't understand, I can't stand up".
You'll never imagine how designers create them.
Burberry stockings and shoes
Strange index:
Reason for listing: I am affectionate and enjoy it like silk.
In the past two days, many big brands have released new collections of 2 1 autumn and winter, among which Burberry especially attracted my attention with a number of novel items.
For example, this "stocking shoe". Finding a pair of old stockings and sewing them at the bottom of open high heels may not have much effect. However, with the blessing of the program and the name "Burberry", it immediately changed from "pieced together fragments" to an unconventional and creative mashup art.
Extremely thin high heels and socks as thin as cicadas, even if worn on the feet of models tempered on the runway, can not help but worry that there will be an in-situ slide in the next second.
Recently, there are more than one strange goods in Burberry, besides stockings and shoes, there are rabbit bags comparable to wild rabbits at large in the zoo, and there are trendy new clothes ridiculed by netizens that "good men don't take mistresses".
It is said that this season's design was inspired by the designer's mother, aiming to show the new power of nature in the form of artificial fur and single items as a tribute to women.
Yes, watching the model standing on stilettos and carrying a rabbit bag seems to hit my temperament, which really reminds me of my mother. ...
Isabold open-toed high heels
Strange index:
Reason for listing: Is it cold or hot?
The first criterion that a pair of shoes makes people "confused" is that at the sight of it, people can't help but have heartfelt doubts.
For example, Isabold, I stared at it for dozens of seconds, wondering whether people should wear it in cold weather or hot weather.
This strange feeling is like mother knitting you a pair of wool gloves to keep warm, and cutting off five fingers to let them breathe.
When the brain repairs the appearance of the upper foot, it will find that not only the toes, but also the instep is almost exposed. This may be related to the brand style of Isa Boulder, an underwear brand from Indonesia, which is bold in design and often has various "unreasonable" styles.
So in addition to the above open-toed shoes, I also found another shoe of the same brand is also very strange, hollow design, stiff version. At first glance, I think of the steel balls that brush the pot.
The bold design is the first characteristic of Isa Boulder, and it is also famous for its handcraft skills: it insists on using environmentally-friendly fabrics, and everything is handmade by local people in Bali.
Then, the shoe design like this may also be mainly for environmental protection and fabric saving, right?
Adidas x tommy cash stick shoes
Strange index:
Reason for listing: It is really rare to spend a day wearing shoes with straps.
If you want to find a shoe to interpret the sentence "I don't understand it, but I'm shocked", Adidas and Estonian rapper Tommy Cash's super-long shoe body superstar must be very consistent.
A millipede wears a shoe on one foot. When wearing these shoes, a person has a momentum of 100 feet. This shoe has 40 laces. You can wear it for a day when you are bored, which is simply the gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
With artistry, the actual permeability is around 0. However, some people say that these shoes seem to meet the social distance regulations under the epidemic situation. Imagine people wearing it and suddenly feel a little excited. At least taking the subway in the morning will never be crowded into sardines.
Of course, not ordinary people can make such a design. Tommy Cash is known as the "post-Soviet geek". As a rapper with a small independent subculture style, he is not only experimental in musical style, but also funny and crazy.
Therefore, even if it is a joint brand, it must come up with a unique pattern. For example, the goal of this shoe is "to be the longest shoe in the world".
At present, no matter how long the shoes are, they walk vertically on the legs, and it is really rare to walk horizontally. It is recommended to apply for Guinness World Records, and it is estimated that there is no opponent.
Maison Margiela X Tommy Cash Bread Shoes
Strange index:
Reason for listing: The ability to "confuse the real with the fake" is too awesome!
People with fantastic ideas can't be satisfied with only one brain hole being realized. Tommy Cash also contributed new ideas when working with another brand Maison Margiela.
As for the brand Maison Margiela, it will be mentioned in detail later. Here, let's appreciate Tommy Cash, which is a joint name. It's not contradictory to throw it into the bread pile. People with poor eyesight may take more than ten seconds to react.
Cos bread on the vamp has direct air holes inside, which looks like cut bread, and even the packaging is sealed with plastic bags. If you put it on the shelf of a bakery, probably no one will question it.
If you buy this pair of shoes, people with children at home should pay attention. This pair of shoes has a 90% chance of being held directly in the afterlife. Take care of your children.
Maison Margiela Tabi series shoes
Strange index:
Reason for listing: Even if it lasts for a long time, there are always people who can't get it.
Maison Margiela was introduced by Belgian designer martin margiela in 1988 (nine years later, he also became the design director of Hermes women's wear).
Tabi split shoes are the most famous symbol of this brand. This series is made of 1989. Canvas shoes, slippers, leather shoes and booties are almost split one by one, and people in the market call them "pig hooves".
Inspired by the "foot bag" worn by traditional clogs in Japan in the15th century, Tabi is now the favorite of some people in the fashion circle, but there are also a large number of people who accept incompetence and think that it is not a pig's hoof.
It can be used as a major series, and martin margiela himself attaches great importance to Tabby. At the beginning of the show, in order to attract the audience's attention, he asked the models to dip the soles of their feet in red paint, leaving bright red marks every step on the pure white runway, cleverly making the models' feet the focus of the audience.
After more than ten years, Tabi's popularity has started successfully, and many varieties have been derived. From time to time, people become confused and commonplace, and even a shoulder bag with split toes is introduced, which realizes the fantasy effect of "seeing shoes is not shoes, seeing bags is not bags".
In wearing experience, split-toe shoes are often called fashion disaster, but it is said that they can make people have a better toe grip and are suitable for fitness enthusiasts. So in recent years, running shoes have gradually applied this design. Maybe it's not unusual for everyone to wear "pig's feet" to go out in the future.
MM6 Maison Margiela Jeans Folding Boots
Strange index:
Reason for being on the list: I don't know whether to wear shoes or artificial limbs for a while.
MM6 is Maison Margiela's women's clothing series, and its concept is to introduce more clothes and shoes suitable for women and play with the minimalist style of deconstruction.
Minimalism is done, but just like the shoes below, people have to distinguish them carefully to confirm that they are really shoes and not artificial limbs.
Ordinary jeans and ordinary shoes, combined together, become a fashionable design. When you sell nearly 7,000 yuan on the e-commerce website, your circle will play.
Judging from the top picture of the model, although the model itself is quite beautiful, I still didn't get the beauty of this shoe. It seems that my leg is broken. ...
So, I want to know how many women's hearts this shoe finally touched?
Midorikawa X Suicoke X Vibram five-toed shoes
Strange index:
Reason for listing: Wear it, and you will be the champion of Halloween.
Split-toe shoes such as pig's trotters are just a crack in the shoes, but now more and more brands are trying to produce high imitation human feet.
Among them, this five-toed shoe, which is jointly signed by three Japanese brands, Midorikawa, Suicoke and Vibram, especially caught my attention. The first second I saw it, it was shocking.
The hue of nude color and the texture of rubber really seem to reproduce human feet. Even the fingernails have such details, and with bright red nail polish, they can be used as props for the Saw crew.
Whoever wears it to the Halloween amusement park will surely win. Accidentally stepping on his foot will definitely scare the other person into apologizing to you again and again. People in Fiona Fang who are several kilometers away are afraid to get close to you, which is a good experience.
I hope I don't buy it and put it in the shoe cabinet every day. This is a very difficult problem.
Avavav blood webbed shoes
Strange index:
Reason for listing: I can't tell whether people wear shoes or shoes.
A shoe is divided into an upper, a sole and a shoelace, so the space for playing is limited. In order to play more tricks, many designers want to work hard on their toes.
This AVAVAV four-toed webbed shoe, named "Monster's Foot", comes from designer Beate Karlsson, and is called as a work comparable to Maison Margiela's Tabi shoes by DAZED magazine (but I feel that this shoe looks much more avant-garde than Tabi).
When the name Beate Karlsson is mentioned, it will make people think of wearable accessories inspired by Kardashian's hips in 20 19, which has helped countless European and American pa realize the dream of recreating their hips.
This work made Beate Karlsson quickly known to everyone. After more than ten months, she met all the people who wore webbed heels. Du Fu's poems emerge one after another unexpectedly, and her design is estimated to be Du Fu's true biography.
Some people think this kind of novelty shoes is quite fun, while others criticize her for grandstanding. She accepted it herself, and she was glad to see that everyone had different opinions. Anyway, most designers are really in a good mood and have a cool personality.
Meriteo Benheim Varicose Shoes
Strange index:
Reason for listing: no one can get goose bumps after reading it.
Designers' personality enables them to create all kinds of imaginative creations, but some of them are really what we mortals want to avoid.
For example, shoes designed by surrealist artist Merete Oppenheimer, which I would like to call "varicose shoes", make my calf feel bloodshot and numb when I see them.
It is suggested that friends who can't control crossing their legs always bring a pair home, whether it is to sound an alarm for themselves there or to put it on their feet to simulate the serious consequences after crossing their legs too much, it is estimated that they can quit this bad habit quickly and effectively.
Not only the shoes with varicose veins, but also the blood gloves designed by the artist make people feel the capillaries gurgle.
In addition, Meret Openheim is more famous for some fur-themed works, which also makes people instantly return to the original world at a glance.
Her design is often regarded as "indomitable", telling people that what we can't see may breed in another dimension.
It turns out that this mode of transmission is very useful, because I may think of this bloody glove as soon as I reach out, and I will always remember these shoes that make my scalp numb when I wear boots.
The essence of fashion industry is creative industry, because designers have many strange and even difficult to be understood by the world, so they can keep a steady stream of creative output. It is very tolerant: no matter how weird your work is, it can be accepted here.
For the public, they may never wear these shoes, but through short contact, they can realize that there are still a group of people in the world who aim to make designs that subvert daily life and build a novel utopia.
Colin McDowell once said in his book Shoes: Fashion and Madness that shoes have always been particularly susceptible to the trend of fashion circles. The fashion of shoes often swings violently between practical and aesthetic levels. Because shoes are more practical than clothes, everyone needs to wear shoes, so it is particularly prone to the critical point phenomenon:
When enough people put on ugly but comfortable shoes, others are eager to keep up with the trend and get rid of the shackles of shoelaces and belt buckles.
From this point of view, no matter how strange the shoes are, who doesn't want to try them on as long as they can be worn?
