For this task on the final day we had to created a final garment using the techniques that we had learnt over the week. I decided to create shoes, however I decided to adapt the shape of them and create a wedge effect. I used rolled magazine to create texture. I though carefully about the colours used and made it symmetrical. I really enjoyed this project and think it worked well I changed the illusion of the shape of the shoe and used recyclable material to create something new. To improve I could have experimented with other materials and shoes to see if the shape still worked.

After this task we then had to photograph our garment. Jenny modelled mine around Ravensbourne however I then realised that sticking the magazine on to the shoe with masking tape was not a good idea as the magazine fell off the the design collased. If I used stronger tape or glue this wouldn't have happened however I didn't want to ruin the shoes I was working with.

Its interesting how you utilised paper and manipulated it to become part of the shoe. It shows the link with the designer Margiela and his paper shoes.
