A lively understandable spirit / Once entertained you. / It will come again. / Be still. / Wait.

by placing colored felt-tip pens in the pockets of the dress its appearance changes over time. within an hour - to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each occasion. the owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it."

You do something to me ... Something that simply mystifies me...

Mark Schwartz made a name for himself as an accomplished shoe designer. For the past 25 years, he has traveled the world gaining inspiration for his ideas from artists like Andy Warhol, who Schwartz beneficially watched at work and Roger Vivier who he cultivated his talents with for 5 years. Both Warhol and Vivier encouraged Schwartz to continue his capricious approach to fabricate his artistic style of shoes. He is producing exciting work by taking advantage of the spontaneity and movement that shoes can create when drawn on paper.

Very few artists have attempted  what Schwartz is pioneering. Mark exaggerates the usual way individuals view shoes by playing off the already artistic shapes of footwear and creates art that exudes personality. The artist’s work is collected worldwide by both private and corporate  clients.

"I have always been fascinated by the shoe , the shape the movement, shoes create a mood all of there own, they scream sex , they are whimsical and for me they take on another life in my paintings.". -Mark Schwartz

"Feira is that gotta have green heel. The green is perfect those who love to wear green. It goes with just about anything, believe it or not. For a 3 inch heel, you’re feet will be happy and comfortable. The insole is detailed with recycled quilting and the leather detail around your heel with the strap makes these shoes hard not to fall in love with."

Title Quote: Isadora Duncan

Another world is not only possible, She is on her way. And on a quiet day, if you really listen, you can hear her breathing.

But a woman in threadless gold / Burns us with the brushings of her dress / And a dissociated abundance of being.

Where'er I roam, whatever reallms to see, My heart untravell'd fondly turns to thee; Still...turns, with ceaseless pain, and drags at each remove a lengthening chain.

"Throughout the ages, in the West, as well as in various other cultures around the world, women have always been encouraged to achieve an unrealistic state of 'ideal' beauty even in cases where it has been detrimental to their health. This is apparent in more extreme examples like the Victorian corset and Chinese foot binding. Women, it seems, are willing to suffer for the sake of beauty. Ninette is interested in conveying this relationship through textiles, looking at seams and mark makings on the body in particular."

And there is ev'n a happiness that makes the heart afraid.
