# Boxy Origami Shoes Andreia Chaves' Shoe Concepts are Bold Artistic Statements By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-12-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andreia-chaves-shoe-concepts References: [yatzer](http://www.yatzer.com/feed_2043_the_footwear_concepts_of_andreia_chaves) Trend Hunter has covered Andreia Chaves’ shoe concepts before, and her “Form & Texture Shoe” is one of her most peculiar designs yet. The shoe is quite literally boxy as it is composed of tiny sycanmore wood cubes. While seemingly disorganized and odd at first glance (as many other Andreia Chaves shoe concepts are), these unique, origami-inspired heels are actually quite an artistic statement. It’s only a matter of time before Lady Gaga and Andreia Chaves team up! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Boxy Origami Shoes:** Opportunity for innovative shoe designs that incorporate origami-inspired elements. - **Form & Texture Shoe:** Opportunity for unconventional shoe designs that utilize unconventional materials like sycamore wood cubes. - **Artistic Shoe Statements:** Opportunity for shoes to make bold artistic statements through unique and unconventional designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities for footwear brands looking to push the boundaries of traditional shoe designs. - **Fashion:** Opportunities for fashion designers and brands to explore avant-garde shoe concepts that merge art and fashion. - **Entertainment:** Collaboration opportunities between shoe designers and artists/performers like Lady Gaga to create visually striking and attention-grabbing footwear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Packaging-Inspired Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/box-shoe.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md) - [Bold Sneaker Design Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-cmf.md) - [Luxe Organically Shaped Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mad-architects-and-fendi.md) - [Organic Sleek Avant-Garde Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contranatural.md) - [Unique Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-fluevog.md) - [Sleek Monochromatic Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramba.md) - [Mossy Stone-Mirrored Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravest-studio.md) - [Second Skin-Feeling Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peu.md)
