CORTEZ JEWELRY BY TREY HOLLINGER



THE CORTEZ JEWELRY PROJECT IS MY FAVORITE IN PROGRESS PROJECT.
THE IDEA IS SIMPLE:
HOW CAN I TURN MY FAVORITE SILHOUETTE, THE CLASSIC LEATHER CORTEZ, INTO A “HIGH FASHION SHOE”?

FURTHERMORE, HOW CAN YOU MAKE THIS TRANSFORMATION MODULAR, GIVING THE WEARER OPTIONS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO WEAR THE CLASSIC MODEL, OR THE NEW REVAMPED MODEL?
MY SOLUTION WAS TO CREATE A MODULAR HEEL EXTENSION, THAT CLIPS TO THE SHOE,
AND IS SECURED BY THE TENSION CREATED FROM THE FOOT BEING HOUSED IN THE SHOE.
