Elegant Shoe Design for women

Piel, by Nicolas Winograd, is a shoe designed for pregnant women. But I think every woman would love to wear it. It looks so comfortable and pretty.



While I am still cheering for Piel, althought it still looks like a concept for me, I found Zig Zag and Corallo by Melissa + Camapana. Zig Zag is inspired by hand-built the ad-hoc construction of "Favela Chair" and Corallo is inspired by Corallo chaire's irregular woven form. All these shoe design are similar. However, the mass production from Melissa + Camapana looks so plastic and feels cheap, while the conceptual rendering of Piel looks so attractive and comfortable. Once again, a design world is different than a real world.
