Pumps that express the texture of meat by applying the food sample method.

詳細説明

This kitschy shoe is a super-realistic rendition of the texture of sukiyaki meat. The technique of Japanese food samples is applied. This piece is part of the “Eating Shoes” series, which uses various foods as motifs, such as red rice, parfait, etc. While Elsa Schiaparelli once gave people a fresh shock with her pump-shaped hat inspired by Dali, Tokio Kumagai (1947-1987) decorated his feet with food.
Kumagai went to France in 1970 after graduating from Bunka Fashion College with a degree in design. As a freelance designer, he worked on designs for Castelbajac and Fiorucci and gained recognition for his shoe designs, and in 1981 he opened Tokio Kumagai, a boutique selling women’s shoes and other clothing and accessories, on Place des Victoires in Paris. In 1983, he established Tokio Kumagai International Inc. in Tokyo. In 1987, he won the 5th Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix, but passed away at the young age of 40.
