# DIY Fantasy Footwear These Hand Painted Harry Potter Heels are a Fan's Dream By Angela Rajic | Published 2013-12-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-heels References: [geekologie](http://geekologie.com/2013/12/hand-painted-hogwarts-high-heels-for-bri.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:) & [edmontonphotographer](http://www.edmontonphotographer.ca/) These Harry Potter heels are a stylish commemoration of a much-loved franchise. Hand painted by [Reddit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-milk-perfume) member Smartypants for her sister-in-law and her bridesmaids for her wedding, these heels display a great handle on the colors and designs of the [Harry Potter series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-x-casetify-collection). The Bride wore the Black Hogwarts pumps (labeled after the school that provides the main setting for the books) and the bridesmaids wore the heels with colors and labels of each house at Hogwarts: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin. The heels of each were then decorated in matching colored rhinestones for added glitz. These shoes are both geeky and stylish, and suited the live-action role play theme of the wedding. These colorful, trendy shoes are a great work of art and fashion fused into several pairs of wedding-day shoes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Hand Painted Footwear:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create unique, customized footwear for niche markets. - **Geek Chic Fashion:** Potential for fashion brands to tap into the growing market of themed merchandise for popular franchises. - **Personalized Wedding Accessories:** Demand for customized and unique accessories for weddings presents an opportunity for designers and retailers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Hand painted footwear offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for artists, designers, and creators. - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion brands can explore the potential of geek-themed fashion to cater to the growing demand. - **Wedding and Events:** Designers and retailers can tap into the market for personalized wedding accessories to offer unique options for brides and bridesmaids. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Design-Conscious Boot Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-hogwarts-set.md) - [Fantasy Keycap Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogwarts-house-keycaps.md) - [Fantasy-Inspired Hiking Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrell-house-of-dragon.md) - [Wizard-Themed Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-6.md) - [Thematic Ombre-Effect Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-hightop-sneakers.md) - [Wizard-Themed Gen Z Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-x-harry-potter-collection1.md) - [Wizardly Cookware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harry-potter-le-creuset.md) - [Celebrity-Inspired Cartoon Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katy-perry-1.md) - [Cartoon-Honoring High Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-heel.md)
