The designer comes up with every single individual piece with a concept behind it in mind. Shoe is just a base to show his creativity. The combination of the image and footwear creates a new hybrid and the design/concept comes to life. The piece is a wearable sculpture. It is “alive” with/out the foot/body. Most of the inspirations are out of the “shoe-world”, and give the footwear an extreme transformation. The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear. Another aspect of the creation is the realization. All the pieces are hand-made. The challenging technical development is the key to bring the design to life in the best way.” In the end it’s tough to figure out whether it’s really a shoe.
