A paper dress created in the colorful woods near my home in Perugia, Italy



 "Dancing Trees"
Olive trees often take on life-like forms, like these two outside of Perugia in the countryside.

"Cousins"
A friend once owned about 30 cats, in a town outside of Perugia.
 Here are five of the ones who live outdoors.

"Sea of Wheat"
 After a huge storm, this field of wheat was crushed by the rain,
 creating what seems to be a swarm of swimming fish.

"Blue Gondola"
Gondolas are still used, though not as often as in the past, but 
still are magnificent to see on the canals of Venice, Italy.

"Butta Giù la Pasta"
In a popular restaurant in Perugia, you can eat homemade
 tagliatelle, and watch the cooks at work.

"Il Padrino"
A magnificent restaurant where fish is the specialty, and where all
 cooking can be easily viewed in this particular open-kitchen at "Il Padrino".

DELISHOES - Shoe Sculptures by Stephanie Seymour


In the year 2004  DELISHOES, 26 individual shoe sculptures were created. Each one is totally different from the next, and the collection was  featured as one of the main events in the
 international chocolate festival  in Perugia. 

Since 2004 other shoes have been created to enrich the collection, as well as a collection exhibited in New York and Chicago.

In this photograph my Delishoes are shown in the Rocca Paolina during the event Fantacity, in Perugia, 2012. 




For information regarding exhibitions of the collection during  fairs, events, fashion shows, please contact me at

Orange chocolate, one of my original shoe sculptures in the collection "Delishoes", created in 2004.
Fashion nightmare, the first of several shoes that took on a totally new dimension, this one being a bird who is unable to get a decent sleep on a bed of nails and wire, displayed in 
Perugia at various shows.
During the event "Fantacity", my exhibition in the medieval Rocca Paolina, Perugia. 
Children from schools came to visit the show where I displayed about 20 of my Delishoes.
After my first collection of Delishoes, I was commissioned by designer Stuart Weitzman to create directly on his expensive and well-known shoes and boots, another group of shoes that were then displayed in his boutique windows on Madison Avenue in NY and then on Michigan Ave in Chicago.
