In the middle of a commercial shoot, inspiration struck Michel Tcherevkoff. The photo of a leaf lay upside down on the table, and he heard himself say: “Hey, that looks like a shoe.” Shortly thereafter, the photographer went tripping down fantasy lane on a whimsically inventive project called “Shoe-Fleur.” Using flowers and leaves as raw materials, Tcherevkoff fashioned them into a collection of shoes that would never walk down a runway but would convey him and his feats of fancy to the Museum of Art and Design in New York.
