In the mid-1950s, Andy Warhol worked as an illustrator for the popular shoe manufacturer I. Miller.
For three years, Warhol drew shoes for advertisements, a cultural symbol that would fascinate him
throughout his career. The stately high-heeled shoe, usually depicted in profile, was Warhol’s favorite,
which he portrayed in a range of colors and materials.
This week, the Year 7-9 students took inspiration from Andy Warhol’s shoe designs to create their own
high heels. The objective of this project was to design Christmas-themed shoes incorporating
commercial elements. Each student is anticipated to express their unique personality through their
individual shoe designs.
