Oceedee, an accessible luxury shoe brand, has launched its most anticipated collection designed in collaboration with Rahul Mishra. The collection was showcased as part of Rahul Mishra’s Spring Summer’ 17 collection at Paris Fashion Week in September 2016.
The naive childlike perspective of Henri Rousseau’s art form the inspiration for the embroideries on the shoes while the chequered designs give a contrast to the clothes. In Henri’s art, we see a flower petal metamorphoses into a swan; the leaves into a zebra; flock of birds emerge from the leaves reflecting magical mirroresque impressions.
Designer created a variation of leather shoes, which included chequered designs, 3D embroideries, and rainforest themed embroidery. Traditional artisans bring to life 3D embroidery techniques on natural textiles like cotton voile and organdie inspired by Rousseau’s artworks, which are then transferred on to the leather shoes.
