The artist compiled a whole selection of [high-fashion designer shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi), including designs from [Maison Martin Margiela](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-margiela-x-christian-louboutin), Guisseppe Zanotti, Alexander McQueen, Christian Louboutin, Proenza Schouler, Isabel Marant and more well-known names. Using shading alone, the drawings portray details such as woven leather straps, metallic shine, studs, perforations, zippers, rivets, ruching and more, adding so much dimension that the shoes appear to pop out of the page. The Shoe Series by T.S Abe illustrates only the most creative and fashionable shoes from the collections of luxury fashion designers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Realistic Illustrations:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to create virtual try-on experiences for fashion products using realistic illustrations. - **High-fashion Designer Shoes:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to leverage 3D printing technology to create customized high-fashion shoes. - **Dimensional Drawings:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity to develop augmented reality apps that bring dimensional drawings to life. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the use of realistic illustrations to showcase their products. - **Art:** The art industry can leverage the trend of realistic illustrations to create unique and visually engaging artworks. - **Technology:** The technology industry can develop innovative tools and platforms for creating and experiencing detailed and realistic illustrations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Japanese Art-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shun-sudo.md) - [Cross-Cultural Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rahul-mishra.md) - [Couture Technical Sneaker Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juntae-kim.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Modern Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sergio-rossi.md) - [Collaborative Artful Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metropole-seoul-derby.md) - [Limited Reflective Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabi-broken-mirror.md) - [Maximalist Pop Art Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami.md)
