STORK
FOOTWEAR DESIGN COLLECTION
Istanbul 3rd International Footwear Design Competition - Second Prize
Designed By Melih Oz
2018
In this collection biomimicry current is used as the starting point. The inspiration was from stork as the main point of form and marabou and flamingo of the ciconiidae were used as an influence in color alternatives. During the design process, psychological and sociological behaviors and anatomical features of the storks were focused with an attempt to create a product identity. The storks are the precursor of hot times and summer and everybody is happy to see that these loved birds are coming. In addition , storks have no singing ability and communicate by tapping their beaks together. The sound coming from a woman’s heels at each step during a walk is actually a manifestation of self - confidence and strong stance without talking. Accordingly, it is aimed at designing a fun, energetic and powerful posture which is quite different from the shoe design and adapting to the seasonal mode psychologically for the user.
