Wearable Art: When Shoes Become Sculpture

‘Some shoes complete an outfit. Others deserve a pedestal.’

The first edition of Wearable Art explores the moment where fashion transcends function and becomes sculpture.

At 1108B, fashion is viewed through the same lens as art. Before a label, before a logo, comes the design. Every object should earn its place—not because of its name, but because it evokes emotion, sparks curiosity or invites a second look.

For B, every purchase begins with one simple question:

"Does the piece do something?"

This sculptural Prada shoe answers that question instantly.

Its monochrome palette is timeless, but it is the folded, paper-like construction that transforms the shoe into something far more than footwear. The silhouette feels architectural, reminiscent of an origami study translated into leather. Every angle reveals a new perspective, encouraging you to look again.

Like a contemporary sculpture, its beauty lies not in decoration, but in proportion, form and restraint.

Black and white has long been the foundation of enduring design. Unbound by seasons or trends, the combination allows craftsmanship and silhouette to take centre stage. When colour is reduced to its essentials, shape becomes the story.

At 1108B, art extends beyond gallery walls. It lives in the objects we choose to surround ourselves with—from paintings and furniture to the shoes we wear. The most compelling pieces blur the boundaries between art, design and fashion, proving that creativity isn't confined to a canvas.

Personal style isn't about wearing the most recognisable label. It's about curating a wardrobe that reflects your own perspective. The pieces you treasure are rarely the loudest; they're the ones that continue to reveal something new every time you return to them.

The most memorable discoveries rarely sit at the centre of the display. They're found just beyond the obvious, waiting for someone who appreciates thoughtful design.

Because the best pieces aren't simply bought. They're collected.

B's Perspective

"The most beautiful shoes aren't designed to follow fashion. They're designed to outlive it. When an object makes you stop, look twice and still surprises you years later, it has crossed the line from fashion into wearable art."
