@globalfootwearawards
Social Impact special projects Winner 🥇 2023 !

Shoes Have Names project. A project collaboration between myself and @sheltercharity to bring together 10 designers x 10 previously homeless individuals.

Design Team:
Jackie leggett, Ellen Sampson, Liz Ciokajlo, Tabitha Ringwood, Jana Zornik, Caroline Groves, Kobi Levi, Daniel Charkow, Elisabeth Thorsen, Kris Walsh

About:

Homeless charity Shelter joined forces with artist Jo Cope for a collaboration inspired by the personal experiences of people facing life on the streets.

Ten shoemakers/designers/artists were each paired with a person that Shelter has helped through its frontline services.

This is a collection of handmade shoe artworks inspired by the personal experiences of real people facing homelessness.
These shoes have become a touring exhibition which will next be on show at YKK London Showroom during Fashion Week in February 2024 @ykklondonshowroom

Each shoe represents the individuals name and their positive steps forwards.

Thank you to @globalfootwearawards judges for recognising the project.

Special thanks to my Shelter team collaborators @mr_rich_glos @hattielamb1 @shelterkingscross and to @pollyatshelter CEO for support of the project.

@z33be Invited by designer Jo Cope, ten designers set to work with stories of people who are, or were fighting homelessness. What are their hopes, which steps can they still take and which do they still want to take? Hence, Cope chose shoes as a metaphor, functioning as symbolic instruments for social activism. ⁠A project collaboration to celebrate the work of @sheltercharity
