Vacuum Identity by Raffaello Scardigli
Scardigli, a graphic and shoe designer studied shoes and accessories design at Polimoda in Florence, Italy. It was there he started to use shoe design as a means to express the concept of “vacuum identity”. Scardigli’s pieces are handcrafted leather sculptures with a nod to the futuristic as well as high fashion –one wouldn’t be surprised to see them on a runway in New York or Milan. They simultaneously exist in the art world and the fashion world making a case that fashion is indeed wearable art.
The designer’s inspirations come from a view of the body and identity in our present world. He plays with volume, flattening the shoes to produce an illusion where the object seems to reproduce itself “doubting its reality”.
