Birch

(shoe illustration)

The capsule is developed on the basis of the flora of the Russian forest. Images of majestic birches, shaggy moss and poisonous mushrooms are intertwined in shoe models.
Somewhere the trunk of a birch tree becomes the boot top, several models are overgrown with moss, and in some places even small mushrooms.
The materials used are vegan mycelium leather and long-pile faux fur. The moss and the fly agaric pattern are made of artificial fur, and the rest of the details are made of artificial leather.
The collection is aimed at girls between the ages of 15 and 30.

Black and white

This stage is necessary so that it will be easier to work with color further.

Color models

Based on the references and the general mood of the collection, I chose green, red, white, black and purple colors. The colors of the collection repeat the natural colors. The light green color is used to simulate moss, red - for the fly agaric hat, white - for the birch trunk, inclusions of fly agaric and mycelium.
