What of Bhömer?

Marloes ten Bh√∂mer is a name that I’m fairly familiar with and certainly her architectural feats of footwear have left a distinct impression on me.  But like the curious child that I am, and with a fairly empty shell of a website, what is Marloes up to these days?  I suddenly got reminded of Bh√∂mer when I wrote about Heather Blake a while ago.  It’s always good to look back at Bh√∂mer’s magically futuristic take on footwear but what of her current projects?  I’m going through a bit of a hankering for shoes that don’t necessarily make 95% of women swoon or gush ‘That’s gorgeous!’ but something that has a sense of unease about them.  Something Bh√∂mer-esque would fit the bill perfectly.  The funcionality of her shoes isn’t immediately apparent and I like how you need look at them for a while to figure them out.

  1. I expect they’re not quite as uncomfortable as they look, but I’m remiinded of the Steve Martin story, “Cruel Shoes.”
