Faux Fox Stole and Wedge Sneakers as in the destefashioncollection, capsule of 2013 which is curated by Diller Scofidio + Renfro

selection three - Rock & Candy
Object: London Wedge Sneakers
Both tomboy and femme, this hybrid shoe grafts the upscale Isabel Marant wedge onto the classic Converse All Star sneaker. The casual punk of the sport shoe submits to the drama and sexuality of the high heel, subverting its function and the gendered associations of both

selection six - Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Object: Faux Fox Stole
A shawl made from the skin of a single animal (its head included), the fur stole was once the accessory of choice of the Hollywood glitterati. Acknowledging that the stigma of animal slaughter is now part of the cultural conscience, this ethical translation of the traditional garment takes the fox stole's form but replaces animal hide with muslin—the cheap, generic cloth used in tailoring to test fit a garment before a finer material is used.
