Liming Vocational University

I am a designer with over five years of experience studying fashion design, with a strong foundation in garment structure, material application, and design language. Through this footwear design competition, I aim to transform the skills I’ve developed in fashion—such as three-dimensional tailoring, aesthetic sensitivity, and attention to detail—into innovative and functional footwear creations. I believe that footwear is more than just an accessory; it is a powerful medium for expressing style and attitude. With this design, I hope to showcase my personal vision and my interpretation of future fashion.

This design draws inspiration from Taiwan’s most iconic beverage—bubble tea. The circular heel elements symbolize the chewy tapioca pearls, while the wooden texture evokes a sense of warmth and natural charm, reflecting the comforting and addictive qualities of this beloved drink. The overall silhouette features a rich brown tone, reminiscent of the perfect blend of tea and milk. With a bold platform and sculptural heel, the design captures the playful yet grounded essence of bubble tea. This piece is more than a fashion statement; it’s a wearable tribute to Taiwanese culture and its global influence. 靈感源自臺灣最具代表性的飲品——珍珠奶茶。 鞋跟上的圓形元素象徵一顆顆飽滿Q彈的珍珠,以木質紋理表現自然溫潤的質感,呼應臺灣手搖飲文化中溫暖人心,令人上癮的風味記憶。 整體鞋型選用穩重的棕色調,仿若奶茶的茶香與奶香交融,搭配高平臺與誇張鞋跟,展現出珍珠奶茶「可愛中帶有份量感」的設計詞彙。 本作品不僅時尚單品,更是將臺灣文化轉譯為可穿戴藝術的象徵。
