These [fantasy stilettos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-heel), cleverly called the Iron Shoes, were designed and put together entirely by hand. While Rose doesn’t reveal her design methods on her [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manmades-the-boxer-brief) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **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. - **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. - **Upcycled Fashion:** Fashion products designed using unconventional materials, creating an opportunity to reuse waste items in innovative and unexpected ways that showcase sustainable design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **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. - **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. - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fantasy Footwear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrell-2.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Thematic Dragon-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-inspired-timepieces.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Crystal Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jimmy-choo-crystal-slipper.md) - [Superhero-Inspired Dramatic Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yancy-street-stomper.md) - [Fantasy-Series Inspired Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diff-eyewear.md) - [Fantasy-Inspired Soap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-1.md)
