Ideas and inspirations (innovative accessories) 3
Updated: Apr 4, 2024
First I would like to consider who my products will be for and what I'm interested in both researching and creating. I like to create products for myself or my demographic (people who are similar to me, similar ages with similar interests in fashion, etc). I myself am interested in shoes, bags and jewellery. shoes:
for shoes I'm very interested in a high chunky heel with a decent platform as the basic structure but the design itself can range anywhere from a Mary jane type shoe to a very open geometric acrylic/rubber design examples as follows.
In my research into ethical materials in regards to making shoes I have found information on mushroom leather, its a vegan alternative to traditional leather used in the creation of many things such as shoes, bags, clothes, etc. its created using mycelium which is the root structure of mushrooms. this environmentally friendly substitute for leather is not only biodegradable but also durable and versatile making it a great option for shoes.
