WTF Wednesday!

I don't like to knock any artist for expressing themselves.  However, this is my blog and I get to share my thoughts/opinions on shoes.... so there!

Clearly both sides of these shoes make a mask.  I'm pretty sure the designer, Maris Pill a young designer who focused on leather at the Estonian Academy of Art, had no intention of these shoes actually being worn in society (I hope).  This is one instance where art shouldn't imitate fashion; so admire and appreciate the artistic value but please don't wear anything like this....ever.

Nataraja - Toe Slip-On Mules - WTF

WTF!!!

Collection SS2011

Nataraja means The Lord of Dance in Sanskrit. It is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the cosmic dancer, who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for god Brahma to start the process of creation. The touch of 'The Lord of Dance' has enlightened the spirit of the fantasy-fuelled futuristic accessories, giving them vibrating forms and unexpected shapes.

I literally have no words...for these shoes.  The below smiley face sums up my sentiments.

WTF Wednesday - Lazarus Wedge

When I saw these shoes I literally LOL.  I am a huge lover of wedges; I think wedges are sexy shoes (usually) that don't require you to sacrifice comfort.  But the Lazarus wedges by designer Benjamin John Hall left me at that awkward moment when your laugh turns into a cry.

Every time I look at them I can't help but think of a minotaur...



Either way these wedges aren't my cup of tea and leave me saying WTF!!!

Tissue Shoes...WTF Wednesday

Considering these shoes were made for an art/exhibition project I won't be outraged.  In fact they look so silly all I can do is laugh.

So I pose this question, if the tissue shoe box collection was to go into production by let's say Christian Louboutin or Giuseppe Zanotti WOULD YOU WEAR?

WTF Wednesday - The Broom Shoe

Luckily these shoes were created as part of an assignment for the Academy of Fine Arts in Sint-Niklaas Belgium (SASK) for a recycling material study.  I'm sure there are some environmentalists that may love this shoe...I on the other hand must ask that age old question/statement....WTF?!?!?

Would you try these out?

WTF Wednesday - Manami Sato

Sigh...if I ever saw someone wearing these I would slap them!  That's how much I hate them...yes hate.  They almost look like they were made by a drunk blind person or like ballet flats gone terribly wrong.  The inside of the shoe has a normal pump shape so they are intended to be worn...but be warned steer clear of me in these.

Like seriously?!?!?!

I really don't even know what to write.  The thought and look of these shoes is utterly ridiculous.  I keep trying to find some sort of justification for them in my head...it's just art, perhaps she didn't have a step stool and needed to reach the top cupboard, but nothing I can think of would reasonable warrant the creation of these "shoes".

I find myself secretly wishing she falls....just saying!

DinoShoes?!?!?

It's the return of WTF Wednesday and what better way to start it off with these "shoes".  They actually look cute in the front and may be a fun pair for Halloween.

Who thinks of these things...would you could you even wear?

Chris Ofili Elephant Dung Pumps (WTF Wednesday)

Ok normally I showcase crazy looking shoes..today I'm gonna showcase some ART.... crazy looking art of course!

These shoes were design by Chris Ofili London-based artist, he is known for working with top companies and his outrageous designs. Ofili's latest creations are a pair of 10 inch heels w/elephant dung platform sole. Yes Girl ..you read correctly elephant dung (feces,do-do,shit, you get it ). Don't worry these shoes are not made for walking just for looking! There are on display at the Tate Britain and the name of this lovely piece of art “Anything Goes When it Comes To (S)Hoes” a line from The Big Daddy Kane song “Pimpin Ain’t Easy”.
