One-Upping Manolo: Bart Hess's Breathing Shoe

Dutch artist Bart Hess' recent project "Hunt for hightech" is full of futuristic fashion and unique materials. His fantastical works are as much a commentary on fashion as they are a glimpse into the darker side of art.

Bart Hess' portfolio is located at www.barthess.nl Project: Hunt for hightech
With a Hunt for Hightech Bart Hess made a collection of fake fur that touches on elements of fetishism, human instinct and new animal archetypes. With that collection he did not try to mimic real animal kingdoms but create a fantasy world of his own. The way this started was through the process of imagining fantasy animals; animals that could be genetically manipulated, part robot, part organic, how they would move in their environment and what they felt like to touch.
