Crisp waferlike textures bejeweled with beads of fruit combine to create beautiful layers of puff pastry in the form of two mille-feuilles. But these Mille feuille are not the kind you eat: You wear them on your feet. Yes, this is just one of the many pairs of shoes among the works on display at a fun exhibition of Chiho Akama's podiatric creations.
Chiho Akama's Edible Shoe Creations |
Shoes? Shoes...Still, Shoes! is a showcase of her sometimes scrumptious footwear, themed on everything from sushi to insects. The event lends a fun, pleasant atmosphere to Pola Museum Annex in Ginza, Tokyo, where a selection of her works are currently on show. Each of the shoes uses original fabrics and other materials to re-create a variety of objects, ranging from grasshoppers and beetles to ikura, Christmas cakes, and roasted chicken.
