What the hell is Leather-mâché?

Posted by Greg Passuntino on March 25, 2009 in Design  Fashion 

Fashion designer and carbon fiber artist, Marloes Ten Bhomer, has just released his line of leather-mâché shoes.

Blogue leaked the weird leather technique that is being used on high end women's shoes to the internet earlier today. We're not sure if the shoes are available to purchase yet, but they are being displayed at the Krannert Art Museum in Illinois and the Design Museum, London.

Marloes' website describes the technique as:
Sections of vegetable tanned leather, pre-formed on a variety of shoe lasts (mould that is shaped in the form of an abstracted foot), are cut and assembled to create a fractured shoe. Even though its form is distorted, one can still recover the shapes of the lasts that the parts were constructed on initially. marloestenbhomer.squarespace.com

There are many more photos of the leather-mâché shoes on Blogue... and they're dopeee!
