This project is my final thesis for the MA Footwear 2018-19 in London College of Fashion, University of Arts of London. The course leader of the program is Eelko Moorer and the teaching team consists of Georgina Goodman and Darren Murphy. The movement is the most crucial characteristic of this collection that has determined the final design and the aesthetics. The final line-up consists of six artifacts and each of them is designed so as to challenge one specific body posture and make the user to move in a certain way. The design inspiration derives from the historical context of architecture, religion and cultural symbolisms, especially from indian and chinese culture.
