Class projects: Footwear!

My graduate students in the costume accessories class presented their footwear projects today. This unit covers the various ways we can create either period styles or fantasy footwear looks.

Second year grad Lauren Woods created these banana shoes for her complex shoes.

She also turned these pumps into shell-adorned Maryjanes.

First year grad Alex Hagman created these snow globe Christmas themed platforms.

 She also made Christmas tree spats with integrated lights.

 First year grad Sherry Wu created these peacock-themed heels for her complex shoe project.

Second year grad Ellen Cornette created these "three layer shoes" for her complex shoe project.

Second year grad Erin Rodgers extended these shoes into boots for her complex shoe project.
