In honor of the release of Fifty Shades Darker, I crafted this stiletto to take it back to the Red Room where it all started. On occasion, I have been asked from where do my shoe ideas and concepts originate. My usual answer is “I live in New Orleans, what better source of inspiration is there!?” But I have to admit popular culture and events provide plenty of fodder. Fifty Shades Darker’s heavily promoted 2017 Valentine’s weekend release led to my fan art contribution.
A nice contrast to the red and black stiletto, the silver mask is a nod to the masquerade ball depicted in the second installment. The architecture of the shoe provides several details that only required a little glitter and glue to highlight. The black satin ruffle creates a delicate edge that compliments the lacing and the sequin trim. I used a combination of extra fine glitter and larger sequin-like glitter to create texture and visual interest.
The view from the back is just as stunning as the front, a red bottom for the Red Room!
