They may as well alter that old saying to “look good from head to heel” because all eyes are on the artsy inches at the back of our shoes. Lucite blocks, metallic spikes and glam glitter have been taking footwear to bold new heights for the past few seasons. Along with WhoWhatWear, we’ve decided these bulbous glam Viktor & Rolf heels are the shoe crush of the season. Other designers that took part in this eye-popping trend include DVF, Hermès and Margiela. Step it up and have a ball with this j’amazing bauble heel!To create: String silver beads onto wire in descending order; leave approximately 6 extra inches of wire, then use wire cutters to cut. Tightly wrap the extra wire slightly above the tip of the heel. Use a small piece of foil tape to hold wrapped wire in place. Use a heel liner to seal the opposite end of the wire to the inside of the shoe. Aim for a liner with padding to prevent the wire from rubbing against the back of your feet.Get down with DIY and a dope playlistCurated by The Jane Doze -

Momo Wang’s Third-Hand UpCycle Collection is a brilliantly colorful example of what can be achieved with reusing found materials in fashion. Inspired by the “third hand” idea of French philosopher Derrida, Wang told Texprint of the 12-piece collection, “They were all made in my hometown Jinzhou in China. I bought all the clothes and materials from local second-hand markets there. The market is very cool.”
…
Wang finds upcycling to be a creative challenge: “The basic idea is to do what I can to refresh, renew, re-animate precious second-hand materials, and eventually deliver the beauty in them by my realization, and eventually have more and more people doing the same, or at least thinking similarly,” she says.
