Fashion Design Workshop

In this workshop, we were tasked with designing a shoe from the decade of our choice. I chose the Seventies, and created some quick sketches, icons and patterns to add to my shoe. As the Seventies was a very funky era, I decided to design a block heeled boot instead of a shoe for my final product.
