Fantasy Sword Stilettos

These High Heel Game of Thrones Shoes Look Like the Iron Throne

— June 16, 2014 — Fashion
These Game of Thrones shoes by artist Nixxi Rose beautifully commemorate the finale of the show's fourth season that aired this past Sunday.

These fantasy stilettos, cleverly called the Iron Shoes, were designed and put together entirely by hand. While Rose doesn’t reveal her design methods on her Facebook page where she posted an image of these edgy sword heels, it’s easy to guess at how she went about making them. The platform heels are decorated with scattered plastic cocktail swords much like the Iron Throne. The plastic swords have been glued alongside a black heel and painted with bronze and silver detailing.


Trend Themes
1. Fantasy Footwear - Footwear that is designed to resemble fantasy or fictional objects and characters, such as swords or mythical creatures, creating an opportunity for novelty and customized fashion products.
2. Handmade Design - Handmade high heels that create a unique and customized look rather than mass-produced fashion products, which presents an opportunity for fashion to appeal to niche markets by embracing eccentric design and individuality.
3. Upcycled Fashion - Fashion products designed using unconventional materials, creating an opportunity to reuse waste items in innovative and unexpected ways that showcase sustainable design.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion and Apparel - The fashion industry can capitalize on the popularity of fantasy and fandom by producing customized, niche products that attract passionate fans and individuals seeking unique fashion experiences.
2. Art and Craft - The art and craft industry can expand its offerings by creating handmade, one-of-a-kind items that cater to consumers looking for customizable and unique products that provide a sense of luxury and exclusivity.
3. Environmental Sustainability - The fashion industry can explore creative, unconventional recycling methods to produce innovative fashion products, inspiring consumers to adopt eco-friendly practices and reducing fashion waste.
