Shoes Have Names is a collaboration with conceptual fashion designer Jo Cope and Shelter. Stories of homelessness have never been told like this before.
Ten international artists, shoemakers and designers were paired up with a person that Shelter has helped through its frontline services. The show features a collection of handmade artworks inspired by the personal experiences of real people facing homelessness. From shoes made out of an old sofa, to the use of the latest CAD software and 3D printing.
