Kobi Levi shoes to go on show in Northampton
13/05/2014
Titled ‘Kobi and the Playful World of Shoes’, the exhibition will highlight designs that challenge the conventional definitions of design, art and fashion, and also explore the genre of ‘extreme footwear’.
Kobi Levi began his career as a footwear designer in 2001, after graduating from Bezalel Academy of Arts & Design in Jerusalem.
The exhibition will feature hand crafted shoes designed as animals, bananas and even coffee pots, exploring how everyday items can be transformed into stylish and funny creations that can be worn or admired as art.
Speaking ahead of the Northampton exhibition, Kobi Levi, said: “I have been showing my work for 16 years and this is my biggest exhibition so far. I’m very excited and honoured to hold it in Northampton as it is a place with great shoe-making tradition and history.”
