# Dental-Bottomed Shoes (UPDATE) Fantich & Young are Back Implanting Teeth into Shoe Soles By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-05-25 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantich-young References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/fantich-young-teeth-mary-janes-05-23-2014/) & [fantichandyoung](http://fantichandyoung.co.uk/) If you don't know Fantich & Young then it's safe to say that your shoe soles remain teeth-free. The British shoemakers are known for taking a strange approach to their shoe-making process and using strange supplies to supplant it. We may be getting a clue as to where the baby teeth go when they're put under the pillow and replaced by money. Fantich & Young have taken red Mary Janes and are making them into a dentist's pipe dream. Fear not because the teeth used aren't real people's teeth (there would be more than a few ethical dilemmas with that), rather they are denture pieces. We once though that sharks had the most rows of teeth but Fantich & Young are proving us wrong Photo Credits: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/fantich-young-teeth-mary-janes-05-23-2014/), [fantichandyoung](http://fantichandyoung.co.uk/) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Teeth-embedded Shoes:** Opportunity to create footwear with embedded denture pieces, adding a unique and edgy twist to shoe designs. - **Creative Shoe-making Techniques:** Possibility to explore unconventional materials and methods to create distinctive shoes that stand out in the market. - **Dental-inspired Fashion:** Emerging trend of incorporating dental elements in fashion to create unexpected and avant-garde styles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Innovation opportunity for fashion brands to experiment with unusual materials and design elements, attracting a niche market of dental-inspired fashion enthusiasts. - **Footwear:** Potential for footwear companies to embrace dental aesthetics in their shoe designs, appealing to fashion-forward individuals seeking unique and statement-making shoes. - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to push boundaries by exploring the intersection of fashion, dentistry, and artistry, creating thought-provoking and conversation-starting pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Remote Teeth-Correcting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dror-orthodesign.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Power Tool-Inspired Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dremel.md) - [Temporary Oral Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-oral-tattoos.md) - [Eye-Adorned Furry Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-mules.md) - [Spa-Like Dental Clinics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-dental-clinic.md) - [AI-Powered Dental Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-predict.md) - [Revitalizing Oral Care Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vvardis-1.md) - [Second-Skin Luxury Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-shoe.md)
