medic esthetic

these are amazing.  i saw something about this girl gwendolyn huskens on stylesight, and am amazed that she is a student.  (info blw from designboom).  her commentary on physical deformities is so creepy and really beautiful.

gwendolyn huskens is a designer studying at the design academy in eindhoven, in the department of man and identity. at the recent graduation show, she presented a set of six shoes called 'medic esthetic'. aiming to reveal the taboos associated with physical deformities, her collection of cream and skin-toned footwear for women is made from medical materials and supplies such as plaster bandages, steel and band-aids. the result is a line of functional and oddly stylish shoes.
