It recently occurred to me while in town having a browse at some shoes (I absolutely loooove shoes!) that they are an amazing form of art! If you take a look at designer collections they come in all sorts of colours, styles and forms that really reflect art. Many of the designers not only create clothing and shoes but, have ventured into designing throw pillows, fabrics for wallpaper and such. Thus, when one has a look at shoes you can definitely see the relationship of shoes as “walking artwork”. Kenzo has an amazing “graffiti look” for a sports shoes, Prada has been using a mutation of colour for a dress shoe which has the sole of a sports shoe. Those same patterns of colour and style can be seen in art, the colours we choose for paint, bedding for sheets, pillows etc. So the next time you are out and about, have a look at your favourite shoe store or retail store. You will be amazed at the kind of “walking art” available. And if you are a true shoe lover, that pair of walking art will be purchased in minutes!
