Galactic Character Heels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These DIY Star Wars High Heels are Perfect for Female Fans of the Saga

— August 20, 2014 — Fashion
These handmade Star Wars high heels by Instructables user Doodle Craft cleverly capture the utilitarian aesthetic look of robotic characters R2-D2 and C-3PO. To make these galactic heels yourself all you need is a pair of unwanted shoes and fabric paint.

These quirky intergalactic shoes are perfect for female fans of the Star Wars saga that are looking to get crafty with their wardrobe. To make these heels begin by grabbing a pair of high heels you no longer wear and you're willing to upcycle. Doodle Craft opted for a cute pair of Mary Janes. Then paint one shoe gold and the other silver. The gold high heel will be C-3PO so add some exposed wires and hardware detailing. The silver heel will be R2-D2 so add some blue and red robotic button designs.
Trend Themes
1. Upcycled Fashion - Transforming unwanted shoes into unique and personalized high heels with fabric paint, creating a new trend of upcycled fashion.
2. Geek Chic - Creating fashionable shoes inspired by popular sci-fi franchises like Star Wars, tapping into the growing trend of geek chic in the fashion industry.
3. Character-inspired Accessories - Designing footwear that pays homage to beloved characters like R2-D2 and C-3PO from Star Wars, addressing the demand for character-inspired accessories.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can capitalize on the upcycled fashion trend by offering DIY kits and workshops for transforming old shoes into unique pieces.
2. Film and TV Merchandise - Companies specializing in film and TV merchandise can explore partnerships with fashion brands to create character-inspired accessories, catering to the geek chic trend.
3. Crafting and DIY - The crafting and DIY industry can provide resources and tutorials for creating character-themed shoes, engaging with the growing interest in personalized fashion projects.
