Description
Shoe Fleur: A Footwear Fantasy debuts an outrageous imaginary collection of botanical shoes and accessories created by photographer and artist Michel Tcherevkoff. Each virtual shoe and handbag is amazingly crafted out of numerous photographs of a single plant or flower. The result is both organic and cutting edge. Art, attitude, romance, and nature combine in this garden of flirtatious footwear presented here in fashion's latest avant-guarde offering. Bearing witty and whimsical names and captions to compliment their playful design, every shoe and handbag has a story to tell--or a secret to keep. Fashionistas will find everything they need, from the "Pre-Nup," a slipper made from the virginal white lily, to the "Miss Tress," the sole of adult discretion, to the "Tally Ho," a handbag fit for a fox hunt, to the "Frieda Kahlo," a feminine shoe with a sturdy soul--built for the road less traveled.
This playful one-of-a-kind collection is packaged in a chic pink plastic slipcase with a round peek-a-boo window, and includes eight printed vellum tip-in sheets. Whether you're shoe obsessed, fashion forward, or flower powered, Shoe Fleur is an irresistable confection that will tease, delight, and perhaps inspire a few fantasies of your own...
