Entry 26: Suito La Pearl by Sebastian Khut (Australia)





"The name 'Suito La Pearl' is created within the design of the shoe, thus being a business suit. 'Suito', derived from the idea of a suit and 'La Pearl' after the black pearl finish of the leather.

'Suito La Pearl' is an elegant black shoe which has been designed like a suit but worn on your feet. It is broken up into 4 different elements: the suit itself; the tie; the cufflinks; and the shirt. The idea of the design was inspired from a recent trip to Japan seeing businessmen walk through the subway day in and day out. Having observed what seems to be a country of high fashion culture I though to myself. 'why not creat a shoe that looks like a suit?'

The style of the shoe is a high-top boot, laid out with black fine gloss leather. Inside the sole lays black, mat leather fabric that extends up and out and folds like a collared business shirt. The tongue of the shoe is a tie that is connected under the collar and is held with a clip, which is designed to be cufflinks, squared and finished with diamonds to give it that elegant sparkling appearance."
