Of course, fashion is art. But there are times when it is art in the direct sense of the word. An example of this is the amazing beauty Shoe Sculptures from By Robert Tabor.
Every fashion designer, of course, must be able to draw. Moreover, it is good to draw, at the level of professionals, in order to be able to visualize your imagination in sketches of future new clothing models. But Robert Tabor believes that a fashion designer should be not only an artist, but also a sculptor. An example of this synthesis of creative professions is his sculpture shoes.
Robert Tabor has already created seventy-five unusual shoes from the Shoe Sculptures series. They are unusual in their forms. After all, there is no trace of the strict lines of classic women's shoes. All of these shoes are real works of art, sculptures made from acrylic, plastic, leather, silk, glass and many other materials.
Among the Silk shoes by Robert Tabor, you can see animals and insects (for example, a goldfish, dragon, dragonfly), food (sandwich, spaghetti, chocolate cake), plants (zucchini, raspberries), transport (cars, airplane, rocket) and many many others. There are no boundaries for the author's imagination.
And, what is most remarkable, all these shoes-sculptures, indeed, can be worn. But if you buy one such pair for one thousand and one and a half American dollars, would you want to go out in it?
But for the shocking singer Lady Gaga, known for her crazy outfits, the work of Robert Tabor gives truly endless possibilities in terms of filling the wardrobe.
However, we have already seen figured shoes. Consider the hybrid shoes from Kobi Levi. True, Robert Tabor brought this art to a much higher level.

Why Americans do not take off their shoes at home, and other habits that seem strange to Russians
No, even if we assume that they have “the streets are washed with shampoo,” then “our” person cannot but be distorted by the spectacle when Americans, even just heroes of films, wander in street shoes right on the carpet (my mother would have killed for that!) , or even lie on the bed. It is clear that the difference in mentality also makes itself felt by the difference in habits, but there should be a logical explanation for everything?
Toy sculptures - "Frankenstein" by Robert Bradford (Robert Bradford)
When we say toy, we do not mean small. No, these sculptures, by the British artist Robert Bradford, are two or even three times larger than an ordinary toy - a doll, a toy soldier, a toy car. And sometimes their size even reaches human height. Why so big, you ask? And the fact is that in order to create one such sculpture, the author needs a whole mountain of ordinary, small toys
Shoes from Michel Tcherevkoff: shoes for real fairies
We all know that any, even completely unremarkable little things can inspire creative people to create masterpieces. In the case of Michel Tcherevkoff, such a trifle is the reverse side of the banana leaf.
