Pro guide The Grounded Statement: Finalizing Authority with PRO Luxury Women’s Shoes & Hats! 👠🎩

In the architectural language of executive style, the foundation is everything. Women's Shoes & Hats are the critical final elements that govern posture, movement, and the overall impact of your silhouette, completing the narrative established by your minimalist women's Fashion or Luxury Occasionwear & Formal Style. PRO Luxury Shoes & Hats are the essential, strategic investments that guarantee both structural comfort and aesthetic perfection. These pieces are chosen for their impeccable craftsmanship, ergonomic superiority, and the powerful, decisive statement they make—from the ground up to the crown.

Why PRO Luxury Shoes & Hats Are Essential for Poise and Presence:

Compromise on footwear leads to discomfort and affects posture; compromise on headwear misses an opportunity for a polished finish. These luxury accessories are distinguished by:

Structural Integrity and Ergonomic Comfort (Shoes): High-end shoes utilize superior internal engineering—arch support, cushioned soles, and balanced heel placement—constructed from breathable, pliable leather or high-grade materials. This ensures hours of comfortable wear, allowing the executive to move with confidence and poise.

Impeccable Craftsmanship and Material Investment (Shoes): Shoes are hand-finished, featuring durable leather soles, precise stitching, and resilient hardware. The commitment to quality construction guarantees longevity and a flawless, high-polish appearance that signals meticulous self-care (aligning with Manicure Nail standards).

The Defining Silhouette (Hats): A luxury hat is a rare, powerful finishing statement. It is often custom-blocked from fine felt (e.g., beaver, rabbit) or high-quality straw, designed to perfectly frame the face, draw focus upward, and add a layer of sophisticated mystery and formal authority.

Aesthetic Cohesion and Strategic Intent: Both shoes and hats are selected to function as strategic punctuation marks for the outfit. They are often chosen to match or subtly contrast with the primary garment, creating visual balance and coherence that underscores the wearer's attention to every detail.

Final Statement: A Violent Action

Our artwork is inspired by Jean Arp’s Collage with Squares Arranged According to the Laws of Chance (1916-1917), and draws upon his idea of external forces informing the outcome of the artwork.

As a group, we collaborated to develop a concept based on this idea, playing with how we would exhibit the final artwork. Our initial ideas centered around us - the artists - as sole creators of a work shaped by unpredictable physical forces, however we eventually gravitated toward making the work a collaborative experience that requires the input of its audience. Thus, while we provide the framework and loose instructions, we rely on the use of the audience as the final step in the work, leaving it’s outcome entirely up to them.

Art and design often explore relationships between humans and non-humans, the environment and ecology. How can contemporary art and design propose new possibilities for imagining the ‘human’ and the environment?

For my poster, I wanted to unpack the possibilities of what it looks like to be ‘human’ and challenge people’s perceptions of what defines a human? I wanted to challenge not just what we know, but how we know it. Is it through pre-dispositional associations with what a hetro-normal media or is it generations upon generations of gender routines morphed into our now ‘reality’? What happened to our human senses connecting with nature; we’ve lost connection to our world right in front of us.

Much like Debora Kelly’s ‘Bodies Of Work’ where she literally brings together animals and humans, forming one. Her work highlights the beauty of each individual ‘body’ be that, flower, insect, human, plant or animal, whilst at the same time creates them into one signified figure. Like Debora Kelly, for my poster, I focused on visual communication and chose not to use any text to let the images and materials speak for them selves.

I chose paper bark as the backing of my poster to develop the connection between human and the environment. By centralising the main content on my work, it enables the viewer’s eyes to ponder around the raw edge of the bark, where the simple, yet explicit beauty of years and growth lay so naturally. I decided to use a make-up product to apply the paint to my bark, staying on the ‘no art materials’ flow. I photoshoped animals with humans features and humans with animal features drawing the two together as one. I focused on creating a connection of a transcendental reality between humans and non-humans. By stepping away form standardised art materials it completely changed my perception and opened up a whole other world of experimental possibilities.

In the very beginning, I made the mistake of having a pre-conceived idea of what I would transform my box into and what it would like in the end. Initially, I thought that if I created what was in my head (a maze; evident in my first experiment) without really opening my mind to trying new things that I would be in the ‘safe zone’. Little did I know…that wasn’t the case and in fact this assignment has allowed me to contemplate the valuable nature of experimentation. 

For my prepared plan of how I would transform my box, I cut my cardboard box up, planned a draft maze route that would adhere to my final structure and then bam! Finished! However when I finished, I wasn’t satisfied at all. I didn’t have that ‘discovery’ moment of what I was capable of or what the box was capable of. Disappointed, I read the rubric again and encouraged myself to keep going and to keep expanding on my future experiments. 

I brainstormed ideas of what a box meant to me. What did I like about a box? Was it it’s shape? It’s texture? It’s universal structure? I started to gain interest in the actual structure of a box. I found myself caught in ideas of its frame, the way it stood, its rigidity and symmetry. 

I went through my belongings to continue to experiment further. I found these clear frames that were identical in shape. I glued them together to form the structure of a box, in other words; I reconstructed the skeletal frame of a box. My ‘skeleton’ box was clear and completely hollow, challenging my preconception of what a box was. To experiment further, I remembered how light is refracted through clear lenses, compelling me to use light and experiment with the shadows that my unconventional box produced in the dark. I found that the rigidity of my box would translate into two dimensional, complex shapes against the background. I shone the light at different angles and directions, changing the brightness. I was drawn to how a three dimensional form expanded into a two dimensional one, producing geometric silhouettes that grew in size according to the light’s direction. My videography of me playing with the shadows allowed me to see how something inanimate could come to life, in the way that the different angles of the box would form distorted, overlapping shadows. While my structure was simple in form, it’s shadows were quite unfamiliar and obscure, challenging my notions of transformation. 

Following on from my interest in the illusory nature of a box (explored in my previous experiment) I opened up to experimental possibility. For my final experiment, I took upon the idea of illusions, shape and form, depicted in my previous experiment, and explored ways I could express this through ‘alien methods’.. 

As we look around our world today, we see that society is becoming increasingly dependent on the material. Much of our society’s progress relies on the extraction, refining and manufacturing of the world’s natural resources into something that is harvestable. Pia van Gelder’s Bio Synth Workshop, a “hands-on instrument building experiment” aims to marry the organic and natural with the man-made and technological, fusing two worlds which are radically apart.

Our initial experimentation with the project saw us directly harness the raw electrical energy latent in lemons and potatoes. We connected these fruits and vegetables in series using zinc and copper plates, and measured the total voltage and current output using multimeters. These foods were eventually used to power single LEDs. In addition to this, we extracted the juices from raspberries, blueberries and spinach leaves to create paint. This experimentation had a sense of primality to it; a raw process that people must have gone through throughout history to create different pigments. Fashion items, such as jewellery, were created from grapes sewn together. Reminiscent of the 19th century, the jewellery was naturalistic, using flowers and fruits.
