General Ginger’s Shoes-Part 1
For the record… I would just like to say that I guess me and the Louboutin crew were synced up intuitively. This idea came before the whole explosion of diamond studded shoes fad on facebook. I started these in May of 2010 and did not complete them until 2011.
I was inspired by the movie The Wiz. My intention was to create my own pair of Dorothy’s silver slippers to take me home per say. The idea kind of switched when I started reading the original stories of Oz written by Frank L. Baum. In the Wonderful World of Oz, I was introduced to this character by the name of General Ginger. She was the General to the secret Army of Women. I thought that was haute shit! A secret army of Women…. I really liked the sound of that.
In my version, I wanted the shoes to represent everything about all the characters, including the three that stood on the wall. It is the reflection that I see as I gather all the troops together to go and fight battles and when victories over the army of my enemies which includes fear, doubt and hopelessness, just to name a few.
