Omg.. Shoes. Let's get em!

For those of you who get the reference of the this post title - I couldn't help myself.

On this lovely little course of mine we quite often have to customise and item of clothing as an assignment. For our 3rd customising assignment we were given the task of jazzin' up a pair of shoes.

I was actually really excited about this, because for the runway show I had already planned on customising the shoes my female model was going to wear - they were actually going to be a major staple in my outfit's concept.

I headed down to good ol' Primarni and picked up a cheap pair of shoes that I could work my magic on. I opted for a pair of 5 inch black velvet heels with a extra high hidden platform. Just what I was after.

I had a pretty clear idea of how I wanted the shoes to look. As my outfits in the show were a bit 'gothic glam' as I like to call it - I wanted the shoes to feel the same way.

I had this vision in my head of covering the shoes in a mix of gold and silver studs & spikes. So doing some googling, I found a great little website that sells every kind of studs and spikes under the sun. From Pyramid to dome - you want it they have got it.

I order a shit ton of studs,  ( I was also using a large majority on the jacket...) so the lovely man at 'Studs and Punks' gave me a discount for placing such a large order.

They arrived the next day and I got to work... several hours, tubes of super glue, puncturing and a few curse words later...... my masterpiece was complete!

In the end I was very pleased with these bad boys! They looked epic with the female out fit and they got loads of attention during the show. I had a number of offers to buy them - but I am going to keep them as they are the first pair I ever made... Who knows perhaps when all is said and done I could always start a little shoe company.

So what is the verdict?
