Mirror, mirror on the shoe

Yesterday I saw in ASVOFF Blog the creations of Andreia Chaves, a Brazilian shoe designer. Her works of art portray the chaos and beauty of living in Sao Pablo, and they reflect an incredible craftsmanship. She grew up in Sao Pablo and later studied in Florence which at the same time give her an insight to the contrast between cultures and visual expressions. The Invisible Shoe is just one of her many designs that tend to be symmetrical, made from mirrors that reflect the environment making the shoes invisible. Another example is the Form and Texture Shoe which mix leather and wood to create a very ordered chaos of cubes. No doubt these shoes can be considered works of art more than wearable shoes, but no one can’t deny it wouldn’t be lovely to have a storm of mirrors at their feet.
