Bagshoes.

Bags and shoes are indispensable supplements to our outfit. They are objects of luxury, status, functionality, sports and spare time. Surprisingly compact, extremely luxurious or practical. They are portable, fashionable accessories, useful utensils and moreover, reflections of human qualities. Bags and shoes have their own body language: they are smooth, rough, creased, folded, soft, hard, shiny, matt, tinted, wrinkled, cold, warm, new or used. They induce us to purchase, make us satisfied, glad and happy.

This is why the new generation of designers of the education of Product Design on the ArtEZ academy in Arnhem show their own designed pieces in the exhibition Bagshoes. They indicate, besides the commercial completion of the bag- and shoeprofession, also the personal, eccentric and artificial experience of it. Bags and/or shoefreak? Well, than it's really worth to see the point of view of these new designers on this division of fashion: they will be the designers of the future.
