FdA Cordwainers Footwear Design
The inspiration for my works lies in the future,the future of mankind and future of our planet. The unpredictable nature of the future and the fear of the unknown fascinates me and is reflected in my work. Humor and drama plays an important role in story telling and I love the idea of storytelling through my shoes as i build u stories around my shoes and create fictional characters . The first project derives its inspiration from the evolution of human beings into hybrids of technology.A mix of machine and technology.(The Brief was to design a range of shoes for a brand or label you most admire. I chose Viktor and rolf and designed a range of shoes keeping in mine their brand philosophy). The second project based in the future also is a fusion of modern architecture and Indo-islamic architecture.For this project i used futuristic shapes with materials like marble used in islamic buildings as heels for the shoes.The shoes are based around a fictional story of two lover and their journey through time. The Third project is aslo based in the future but deals with a time where the world is about to end.The people are surviving on very little resources and everyday is a struggle. The people have become more like warriors .This project was done keeping in mind a science-fiction post apocalyptic movie based in the future. In summation my work is driven by drama ,fantasy, humor and assumptions on how the future will be like for the humanity. I see my work being used in futuristic shoots, Tv series based in future and Science fiction movie.
