Kermit Tesoro Unleashes the Kraken With These Cephalopod-Inspired Shoes

With his personal quote in mind “Wearability is out of the question. If you love a shoe enough, you’ll find a way to wear them,” Kermit Tesoro creates shoes that look more like art sculptures than something that belongs on someone’s feet. The talented young Filipino fashion designer has gained much deserved attention for his one-of-a-kind footwear from fashionistas and celebrities alike such as Lady Gaga who features his Skull-heel shoes in her Gilt collection. Deviating from any notion of standard, Tesoro’s vision smashes trends taking the world by storm with some pairs getting their spotlight in museums around the world from Vienna, Austria to Switzerland’s Spielzeug Welten Museum Basel. Though some pairs are better left as something to ogle at than to walk in, his vision clearly comes across as ground-breaking.
