Positive Luxury Butterfly Shoe Project/Collaboration - London, UK
“The Butterfly Shoe”
——————————————————————————————
For this exclusive collaboration Elli Popp has developed a design theme that reflects Positive Luxury’s aim of sustainability using the blue butterfly.
The design focuses around metamorphosis - from caterpillar to eloquent butterflies.
As inspiration we looked to Maria Sibylla Merian, who as a woman in the 17th century illustrated intricate images of insects.
Maria’s continuing studies helped change the western worlds understanding of insects and metamorphosis with her publications becoming highly sought after in the 17th century.
David Attenborough has considered her to be amongst the most significant contributors to the field of entomology.
We also included images from the extensive Elli Popp archive combining the old and new in this unique design.
