So, it's almost Hallowe'en. I'll be spending my night in a hot tub with a gaggle of gorgeous women, eating white chocolate cheesecake and drinking ice wine (like you do), but I wanted to take this timely moment to talk about the notion of "costume" and how it intersects with the idea of fashion as art.
More accurately, I just want the excuse to post a bunch of amazing shoe pics featuring the art/design/footwear of designer Kermit Tesaro.
There are lots of shoes that are "art" in the sense that the shoe is being used as the canvas -like this example - and others where the shoes are sculptural but still wearable as functional (ish) footware - such as these floral confections, or this totally cute pair that references blow-up dolls. (I would so wear those, you know I would).
But there's a point where a shoe goes from sculptural footwear to... something else entirely. Kermit Tesaro walked up to that line and basically high-kicked his way across it to bring you some truely amazing, completely (or at least nearly-so) non-functional, wearable shoe ART. Behold!
