Camper Shoes

Last week we took a field trip to the Design Museum and there was an awesome exhibit on Camper footwear called Life on Foot. Camper is a Spanish footwear brand and this exhibit showed how design of every kind has played a role in Camper's shoemaking. This brand is celebrating their 40th anniversary this year so they have been in the industry for a while experimenting with contemporary design and new technologies. I thought that this exhibit was awesome because I love shoes and it can be easy to forget that shoes are an art form and part of design as well. Shoes are worn everyday and can easily go unnoticed but at the same time be very revealing in terms of the person's personality and sometimes even their status. Every activity that you take part in requires a different form of shoe whether you walk, run, dance, work, or play. It is so interesting that you can get a feel for the personality of a person you have never met just by looking at the shoes that they are wearing. The pictures above are from the exhibit showcasing materials used for shoes and different types of shoes that Camper has made. As a shoe lover I really enjoyed this exhibit and liked seeing the evolution of the design of Camper's shoes.
