Surrealism through the lens of fashion explores themes of “metaphor and metamorphosis, bodies and parts, displacements and illusions, natural and unnatural worlds, and the doyenne and the dandy”. Vice Versa is a collection of multifunctional surrealist objects, shoes, and its altered “removal from its conventional milieu, causing disruptions in role, association…shifted identity through its new designation” dualing as handbags. Throughout this collection, Vice Versa references surrealist concepts while playing around with the functionality of conventional shoe forms and shifting the perception of shoes as purely footwear.
