pair of playful stilettos can make a woman feel young again -- especially if those high heels are covered in tiny toys from her childhood.
Last month, British artist Finn Stone unveiled one seriously funky fashion accessory at the Affordable Art Fair in London: a pair of stilettos covered in hundreds of colorful little Lego blocks.
Stone, best known for his quirky design work in fiberglass furniture, told AOL News that he went outside the box with his latest art project because, frankly, he wanted to play with Legos.
Stone said he used a pair of cheap, plain, black high heels as the base for his project and piled on the Legos using a top-secret adhesive mixture from his supply of art glues.
In terms of the pattern of the toy bricks, he said size and shape were everything.
Stone is best known for his work with fiberglass furniture. Recently, he went out on a limb and tried his hand at designing accessories, including Lego shoes and hats.But the colorful kicks aren't for sale just yet.
Stone said he's only made a few pairs so far specifically for art shows -- not for commercial purposes -- though he's not opposed to making more.
If someone is really interested in a pair, they should contact me via e-mail and we can talk about it. I may just wind up making custom pairs for people and we can negotiate the design and price point, he said. If they want all red Legos or something like that, I could do that. I could also do this with their sneakers or kids' shoes.
At their recent art debut, Stone said the size 5 LEG-GO Stilettos were priced at about $2,600.
