The only shoes that look futuristic are Crocs, but they would be terrible to use in a futuristic movie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What is funny is when you do a futuristic movie, you immediately get to be fashionable because you're creating something that doesn't exist.
I would not invest in any shoe that is too trendy.
Designing my shoes, I'm thinking timeless. Not trendy.
Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth; they are not playing with the inner character.
When I think about a character, it does start with the shoes: What kind would she wear? How would she walk in them?
As for futuristic costumes, I loved doing 'Gattaca' because I'm a minimalist at heart, and it's a very minimal film. Plus, with Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke and Jude Law, how could you go wrong?
Shoes for men are about elegance or wealth, they are not playing with the inner character. That is why women are happy to wear painful shoes.
I feel like shoes are one of those things that no matter how conservative or how outrageous you get, a good pair of shoes is going to last you a lifetime.
In all my science fiction movies, I try to blend the familiar with the futuristic so as not to be too off-putting to the audience. There is always something familiar they can grab onto.
You cannot design shoes if you only think about fashion; it's too realistic. When I design, I dream.
