Shoes, as in the destefashioncollection, capsule of 2013 which is curated by Diller Scofidio + Renfro

Selection one– MARTIN MARGIELA
Object: Cork Lace-Up Shoes
This classic leather oxford is surfaced with a glazed cork skin. Harvested from cork oak trees, bark tissue is boiled in water to break down its cell structure, then dried and shaved into thin sheets pliable enough to shape over a curved surface. The soft wood is glued to a leather lining and finished with a glossy protective sealant.
Selection eight - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD ANGLOMANIA FOR MELISSA
Object: Lady Dragon IX Pump
This simple sling-back pump is both present and absent. The "nude" shoes are intended to match the skin of the wearer but are far from invisible. The latex surface has a fetishistic medical sheen, and the bright magenta multilooped bow—an accessory to the accessory—concentrates the shoe's erotic charge into a moment of pure feminine excess.
