Fashion Designs: Open-Toe Cutout Platform Shoes

Video Transcript

"Hi, it's Laurel again and I'm going to show you how to do another type of platform shoe. This one that we're going to do is the open-toe cutout platform and this space here, the white, is actually a cutout, that if you were to look through it you'd see whatever is on the other side of it. It's clear and open. The only structure is coming from this purplish blue part that I have drawn, that's the frame and this is a hole basically. Now it's time to start drawing your open-toe cutout platform shoe, and the first step in that is to decide how big, and how tall you want the actual platform part to be. And start out with the bottom part of it since that's the whole point of it being a platform is that it has a platform. So let's make this one a little bit bigger. We'll just exaggerate it hugely, and like you see there I made a mistake, that's okay. You're going to end up with twenty gazillion paper tracing pieces in order to get one perfect design and I'm just trying to show you it in one go which is virtually impossible. Then I have a peep toe here, and then around the heel. And then you would fix it and make it a nicer looking more finished version of the same thing."
