Ruth Jones!!!

All I can say is WOW! I love Ruth Jones footwear! I mean… these boots are just incredible! Ruth on her collection:

The collection focuses on the production of 8 pairs of shoes which collectively and cohesively collate in concept from parasites and alien behaviour through attachment of foreign materials acting as foreign organisms and impregnated shapes.

Trapped in between the uppers and the linings are shapes exploring narratives in proportion, using methods in padding and the use of internal contours illustrating a parasitical foot by altering the foots current state. The collection is thus contextualised as an abject foot, dramatic and rendered displaced in form, aesthetically whilst still allowing function.
The collection explores the aesthetics of conceptual design processes, displaying intricate pattern pieces, professional levels of finishes to foldings and padding details challenging the pre-conceived idea of the default form from last to foot bringing the 16 pieces behaving abnormal, similar in structure to parasitical development in movement and shape.
