We love a stinky European cheese, but not when it comes in our footwear.
This cheese sandwich shoe, produced of stale bread and Cheddar, marries high fashion and not-so-haute cuisine. Will anybody bite? Our guess is no. But you will need to give the designer inventive points.
Style student Lisa Dillon, from Bath Spa University outside of London, intended the quirky high heel mules as component of a competition to promote the region’s principal agricultural market — dairy. She sculpted the 4-inch heels from West Country Cheddar and employed more cheese, melted and shaped, as embellishment on the front. The platform soles get their lift from layers of the stale bread.
Dillon’s layout, along with other cheesy designs, is going to be on display at a nearby county fair of kinds, the Royal Bath and West Show, as component of a launch for a national “cheese couture” campaign, sponsored by the English brand Pilgrim’s Option.
A spokesperson told the Every day Mail, “Our sponsorship of the National Cheese Awards has turn into the high point of the year for customers and visitors for the Show who really like cheese. We had an extraordinary response from the public last year to our Cheese Sculpture Awards Class, exactly where we show-cased the World’s largest cheese sculpture ever recognised.”
We don’t know about you, but we’re strangely searching forward to seeing more of this cheese couture.
