I'd kinda like to see a cut-away illustration of those shoes to understand how the feet fit into them.
Same goes for the butterfly wig.
This was a terrible blow. My BF is wild about his couture and introduced (a very skeptical) me to his work, and honestly, apart from occaisional burst of sympathy for his models (see pictured: shoes), his work is absolutely mind-blowing in the best possible way. The recent acceleration of his fusion of the scientific and natural worlds resulted in some remarkable art.
An genuine shame and loss, and worse if indeed by his own hand.
So sad that someone that young, talented and creative would choose to end his life.
Those shoes are a marvel - ugly, misogynist and grotesque, but oddly compelling. They're like hooves. I, too, wonder how they actually work.
The silvery sheath dress and belt beneath the butterfly wig is wonderful.
He seemed like he'd be a very nice guy, with a big heart.
I wouldn't/couldn't wear those shoes but I'd wear that butterfly wig anytime.
