设计故事/概念 Design Story/Concept:
这是一款关于墨西哥艺术家夫妇芙烈达·卡萝和迪亚哥·里维拉的设计。迪亚哥带给了芙烈达一生无数的欢乐和痛苦。此设计充满象征和隐喻,是我对他们复杂的关系的一种诠释。鞋子表面一切看似美丽和谐,但细节里充满伤痕和冲突,就像他们的关系一样。
It is a story about the prominent Mexican artist couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Diego had bought Frida countless joys as well as pains into her life. The design is symbolic and metaphorical, and it is my interpretation of their complex relationships. The shoes look beautiful and harmonious at first glance; but there are scars and conflicts shown in the details, just like their relationships.
