New York based artist Mickalene Thomas recently collaborated with Namibian/American shoe label Brother Vellies (formerly known as Schier Shoes) to create a 5 piece capsule collection of Brother Vellies signature handmade bellies (desert boot) using a mixture of prints, regal ostrich hides and tufts of spring bok fur.
Only 25 of each style was made and displayed as part of a pop-up exhibition titled curated by Mickalene Thomas at Proposition Gallery last month.
