Biomorphism

Category: Footwear

Inspired by the artistic and architectural mastery of Andreas Palfinger, this footwear collection explores biomorphic shapes and innovative design. Featuring striking silhouettes and forward-thinking aesthetics, each piece is crafted to make a bold statement. The collection’s signature extended soles serve as a distinctive element, adding both height and modernity. A carefully curated palette of black and taupe enhances its sophisticated and contemporary allure. Blending avant-garde creativity with wearability, this collection redefines modern footwear, making it a true standout in high-fashion design. Biomorphism is an art and design movement that focuses on organic shapes and patterns, predominantly found within nature. It drains from the natural world including plant life, animal forms and human anatomy. My project focuses on the use of leather and how this material can be manipulated to create visually striking designs. Three distinctive leather techniques are used including ruching, moulding and twisting. I explored each technique in detail, practicing different methods to see which would be most effective before I produced my actual prototypes. Leather is a natural material that is often overlooked. I wanted to create this collection to show that leather can be used in lots of creative ways and can be a fun material to work with. I am excited to continue exploring new techniques with this material.
