This pair of shoes is inspired by the human spine and ribcage, symbolizing the center of support, stability, and vitality. The spine is not only the structural axis of the body, but also the silent force behind every movement—walking, standing, and moving forward. It is the foundation we often overlook, yet cannot live without. In the design, I incorporated corset-like forms to express structural support, paired with a skin-toned skirt element that represents the softness and protection of human skin. This combination is more than a visual statement—it signifies the importance of walking one’s own path with confidence. No matter how uncertain the future may be, we all carry within us a quiet strength that propels us forward. By using two contrasting types of leather, I aimed to highlight the tension embedded in the design—the firm support and the gentle embrace. The stiffer leather conveys strength and structure, while the soft, skin-colored material symbolizes care and vulnerability. Together, they reflect the inner resilience we rely on when facing life’s challenges—our invisible spine. This is more than just a pair of shoes—it is a reflection of both body and soul. It tells the story of how we are supported by unseen forces within us, and how, as we walk through life, we are guided by an inner spine—perhaps it is our dreams, our beliefs, our loved ones, or simply a promise to ourselves. Wearing it is like wearing our own strength, a reminder that every step we take is not by chance, but shaped by everything we’ve endured and everything we hold deep inside. 這雙鞋以人體的脊椎與肋骨為核心靈感，象徵支撐、穩定與生命力的中心。脊椎不僅是身體的結構主軸，更承載著人類的行走、站立與前進，是每一個動作背後最沉默卻不可或缺的力量。 設計中，我運用了馬甲造型來展現結構性的支撐，搭配膚色裙擺，象徵肌膚的柔軟與包覆。這樣的組合不只是外在形式的呈現，更寓意著每個人都應該自信地走出屬於自己的一步——無論前方有多少不確定，我們都能由內在汲取力量前行。 透過這兩種皮革在質地上的對比與搭配，我希望讓使用者感受到設計中蘊含的張力——既有堅定的支撐，也有溫柔的承接，正如我們在面對人生時，內心那條「無形的脊椎」所給予的力量。 這不只是一雙鞋，更是一段關於身體與靈魂的詮釋。它訴說著，我們如何被那看不見的內在力量所支撐，也象徵著在人生的道路上行走時，來自心中那條「無形的脊椎」——也許是夢想、信仰、家人，或是一份對自己的承諾。穿上它，就如同穿上自己的堅強，提醒著我們：每一步都不是偶然，而是來自過往的積累與內心深處的力量。
