Bread Shoes white

Souvenir: made from real Bread


. Not wearable on feet... first in fashion… for interesting lifestyle…
 needs no pressing... dries itself...

Size: 25cm x 10cm x 6cm

Bread Shoes are a souvenir to put on the TV or show to your neighbours, not ideal for using them as real shoes. This product is for clever people, who feel we are talking about.
This is not a product for money. This product comes with a concept – let it be a souvenir. We took a product from the food market and did a reincarnation.



Every pair is unique and comes with a best suitable
hand-picked cardboard box.

It is not hardened, and it is not weather-resistant. 
It is a natural product from real Bread.

Bread Shoes feel very good in dry climate. We own Bread Shoes ourselves. One shoe is dead, another is fine, five years old. We wear it like a box for new soup. In wet orbit they go mold, mushy and washy, comic and funny… It’s design likes a joke for fantasy to restart your brains

The Ice cream boots

Rhonda: 'I first started making ice cream shoes in the 70's. I wore a different flavor of shoes everyday. Wearing ice cream shoes to school, kind of upset my instructors at the art center college of design. I just thought they were fun. I made some ice cream shoes for donald pliner of the right bank shoe store in Beverly Hills, California. I was told that Elton John, and Cher bought a pair.

Later I moved to New York City after I graduated from school, wearing a banana split costume. Walking down the street in New York, the owners of Fiorucci fell in love with my shoes, and I designed a window display for their Fiorucci store with the Ice cream shoes as part of the display.'

These Ice cream boots are now being displayed at Royal T in Culver City, California USA. They are available in different flavours!

'The book project Shoe Fleur: A Footwear Fantasy began with a picture of a leaf I had taken for a client,' says Michel. 'The leaf was turned upside down and I remember saying out loud to no one in particular, ‘that leaf looks like a shoe.’ And, after a move here and a twist there, I had created my first shoe fleur, appropriately named La Première.'

After La Première, Michel was hooked. Each morning for a year he went to the flower market at dawn to bring the freshest, most glorious blooms back to the studio. As the months passed, each shoe fleur emerged with a name and a story. “Every accessory became as unique as the flower or plant I used to make it,” says Tcherevkoff. With names such as Callous Lily, Fort Knox and Escargot each visual is a witty cultural quip.

With Diane von Furstenberg writing the Introduction to Shoe Fleur and Ferruccio Ferragamo writing the Preface, a launch evening at the Museum of Arts and Design, gallery exhibitions in New York and Paris, press coverage in magazines ranging from Elle to US Magazine, Michel has just been discovered as an important contemporary artist.

In a continuation of their shared love of high heel aesthetics the room’s main feature is two huge snow legs descending from the ceiling, wearing a pair of gigantic ice heels. Each heel, at over six foot high and two tonnes in weight was hand-carved from pure natural ice harvested from the Torne river.
Between the legs is the bed, crowned by an ecclesiastical arched window featuring an engraving of one of INSA's signature line patterns.

The rest of the room resembles something somewhere between a house of worship, gallery or boutique with more yonic arches housing smaller heel sculptures and other symbols of commercial wealth.

'The book project Shoe Fleur: A Footwear Fantasy began with a picture of a leaf I had taken for a client,' says Michel. 'The leaf was turned upside down and I remember saying out loud to no one in particular, ‘that leaf looks like a shoe.’ And, after a move here and a twist there, I had created my first shoe fleur, appropriately named La Première.'

After La Première, Michel was hooked. Each morning for a year he went to the flower market at dawn to bring the freshest, most glorious blooms back to the studio.

‘For the Birds’ Shoes

When winter comes our world gets covered with snow, including the places where birds use to find their food. Birds prepare for wintertime and need enough energy to make it through the cold days with less food as usual. To help them survive some people hang out peanuts or seed balls, enjoying frequent visits of little sparrows.

These shoes are covered with delicious bird seeds. Wear these shoes when going for a break or reading a book and you will soon have little friends flying over for a small bite. Your healthy break becomes a bird’s healthy meal – double fun.

The ‘For the Birds’ shoes helps us getting through the winter by bringing man and nature a little bit closer.

 

The ‘For the Birds’ shoes are designed by Arnold van Bezooyen for an intercultural exhibition where traditional Korean shoes were conceptually redesigned by European designers to create a new look and meaning. Arnold’s passion for materials made him explore the materiality of the shoe instead of its form.

Mina Harker
In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Mina Harker is a quiet English teacher that should marry an employee. Her fiancé goes to Transylvania to meet up with the Earl Dracula for a real estate’s sale. The Earl sees a photograph of the young lady which resembles exactly his beloved dead bride, that killed herself centuries before believing her husband dead in battle. So the Earl decides to move to London to court Mina, she falls into his arms, in a reminiscence’s dance of a love which passed unhurt through the centuries, perhaps with fascinations and disillusions to the final blood catharsis in which she chooses to set her lover free from the curse of “non-dead”, transfixing his hearth and cutting off the head. I’ve therefore realized her sandal with some garlic cloves, famously unpopular for vampires and speakers. The heels are two crucifixes, symbol of the Christ, of Redemption, of Death and his consequent Resurrection aside of the struggle against vampires. In fact, it will be his last “bride” to put the word end on the dark legend of Dracula.

Cinderella
Cinderella runs away down the castle’s stairs for she won’t be back home by midnight the horses will turn back to mice and the coach to a pumpkin. My Cinderella is a chronic late-comer, as I am, she has a pumpkin for heel as now it’s really getting too late. She has a stopped watch making '5 minutes to midnight' on her ankle as a warning and her shoe is not made of glass for I am not the fairy and midnight is long gone.
However, her sandal is transparent but is made of PET, certainly a cheap material but good enough for the occasion, because nowadays Cinderellas, unlike the character of the classic fairytale, have to content themselves with little. There are no many more charming princes around and the most part of men is closer to be similar to rats so that the world should be getting rid of rats.

Licorice Shoes are based on two specific memories the artist recalls from his childhood: the black giant wingtip oxfords his father wore to the office every day and the crock of black licorice his grandmother kept in her kitchen. Blending these two sources with humor and spectacle, Yoder comments on the wonderment, fears and unwritten rules that form our domestic environment and our behavior within it. Licorice Shoes transcend the pop references of Oldenburg-esque sculptures to explore more intimate realms of memory and desire.

The shoes caused as a lot of excitement. This pair of shoes was distroyed, but a new pair was made in 1967 when Moderna Museet made an Oppenheim show.

Virtual Shoe Museum : Edible
Home of the Virtual Show Museum

Please read our Terms and conditions for using this website.

The Virtual Shoe Museum was initiated by Liza Snook in 2004. Once the idea was born, a long search began for designers, photographers and publishers connected to shoes. New friendships developed and our mailbox filled with loads of material on fantastic shoes, art and design on shoes.

And finally, with the help of Taco Zwaanswijk of Interactive Affairs, who designed the site, and Bart van der Ploeg of Resolume, who programmed the database and created the content management system, we're live! And proud! And we're only just beginning...

If you have any questions about the collection, or leads on shoes or designers, please let us know. Also, we're interested in your opinion on the collection and your experiences in the museum. You can contact the Virtual Shoe Museum by mail: Liza@VirtualShoeMuseum.com.

The Virtual Shoe Museum has different 'perspectives' on a shoe or object. These perspectives (designer, focus, colour, material, etc) show related objects and thus ways to navigate the collection.

The left column of the screen contains the main navigation. Each perspective contains several 'rooms'. Each room contains thumbnails of the objects it contains (on the right side of the screen). Choose any to view this object.

On an object's page, below the image, you can view more images, video and text (if available). Above the thumbnails, you find a list showing all the rooms this object belongs to. Here you can wander the rooms and find related objects.
