You probably don’t give much thought to the socks you wear every day, but these clothing designers and artisans sure have. The sheer plethora of socks we’ve featured at TrendHunter.com shows just how much creativity can be worked into darning socks.
There are socks for stilettos and ones for flip flops and socks that clean your floor and ones that prevent your feet from smelling with science. There are sock monkeys, sock sculptures and oil lamps made from smelly socks. Check out these and other sockovations in the slideshow below.
