Storytelling Shoes: Artist transforms shoes into sculptures that tell a tale

From former skating shoes and high heeled wedges to sporty trainers and big boots – Costa's imagination runs wild, taking inspiration from Victorian inventions and classical fiction. You can almost imagine them leaping from the pages of a Jules Verne novel.

Alas, you can't actually don Costa's creations. They are made of reinforced stone hard resin or high quality fibreglass and aren't wearable. However, you can purchase a sculpture of your own, as he sells his one-of-a-kind pieces via Etsy. To find out more, visit www.costamagarakis.com.
