Those are the Superplat shoes that were worn in the show. The purpose was to create a shoe that is also an object; a sheet that got its own shape, its own "life" and that could hang as a non-functional object. Non-function generates the shape. It's made in different kind of leather, daim or fabrics and made by hand. The act of enveloping your feet reminds the way people used to envelop small object or precious books in leather sheet to carry them. The folding system is similar as the one I used in my garments.
It's a collaboration with object designer, Claudie Dusseault and exhibited May 11th at Centre de Design, UQÀM.
