Evaluation of cubism art movement in terms of design principles and its reflection on shoe collection process

Art and fashion are two closely related disciplines that enrich one another in terms of aesthetics and expression. This study aims to develop an original shoe collection in the field of fashion design, inspired by Cubism, one of the prominent movements of modern art. The primary objective is to create a unique design approach based on the fundamental principles of Cubism, particularly drawing inspiration from George Braque's artwork The Blue Mandolin. Within the scope of this research, the entire process of designing the shoe collection—from the initial sketching phase to production—has been systematically examined. This study adopts a holistic approach, not only reflecting an interdisciplinary inspiration but also addressing the analytical, technical, and functional dimensions of design. Fashion design, beyond visual aesthetics, is directly related to the ways in which individuals express themselves. Therefore, the developed collection serves not only as an artistic interpretation but also as a medium of communication reflecting contemporary lifestyles. In conclusion, this study presents an innovative and original design process at the intersection of art and fashion, offering a comprehensive approach that encompasses the visual, conceptual, and cultural aspects of design.
