Women's shoes

Surreal shoes from Costa Magarakis

It is difficult to say when the artists began experimenting with shoes, creating art objects and fabulous installations from them. Personally, I remember the collaboration between designer Elsa Schiaparelli and artist Salvador Dali. It was they who created the shoe-shaped hat and other unusual things. Despite the unusual design, clothing and accessories Elsa Schiaparelli could be used for its intended purpose.

Costa Magarakis in his work has gone much further into the fairy world. “Blacksmith-shoemaker”, as he calls himself, creates art objects and installations incredible for the perception of ordinary people. Costa Magarakis shoes are not at all suitable for the initial purpose, but they can decorate an unusual interior.

At first glance, the work of this master may seem like pampering and insanity, but then we must condemn the authors of fairy tales, fantastic stories and many others who create their own fantasy world. In addition, Costa Magarakis is trying to make money on his unusual art, he sells his work on etsy.com, where he asks for $ 1200 for fabulous ankle boots.

I don’t know how successful the sales are, but the master's works in any case make a vivid impression, and may well be liked by those who are tired of traditional porcelain figurines, vases and beaded flowers. If I wanted to decorate the interior in the style of "Alice in Wonderland", these unusual boots would come in handy ...
