The bacon-esque oxfords: shoes by Tokio Kumagai (1947-1987) for “Shoes to Eat” series, 1984.
From Fashion: The Collection of the Kyoto Costume Institute:
By using the painting style of artists such as Dali and Pollock, he came up with a never before-imagined style of shoes. In the ‘Shoes to Eat’ series, using Japanese plastic food sample production methods, he put hyperreal images of beef, red-bean rice and sundaes on shoes.
So many bacon shoes out there!
