Dots Dash

The Dots Dash “Principles of Art” Shoe Collection takes its inspiration from the seven principles of art. Colour-rich, creative, and crafted using state-of-the-art techniques, this collection pushes the boundaries of footwear design. Each shoe a work of art.
The handmade shoes and booties in the Principles of Art Collection are cool, contemporary, a fresh take on classic silhouettes. Cross-season must-haves, designed to communicate with you on so many levels. They are ever-wearable, the perfect everyday accessory.
Inspired by years of design experience, the Principles of Art Shoe Collection encapsulates the seven elements of art. Footwear as unique and elegant as those who wear it. It elevates, empowers and enchants, instilling confidence in every step, no matter which direction you take.

Balance – Life is all about finding the perfect work-life balance. We implement the artistic element of balance to create symmetry in our shoes. With your footwear covered, you have one less thing to juggle in your search for equilibrium.

Contrast – It is contrast that transforms a blank canvas into a work of art. It highlights the striking differences between elements such as colour and texture and elevates the ordinary to the extraordinary. By using textured fabrics and vibrant colours, we created a boot that demands attention, while remaining highly wearable throughout the seasons.

Emphasis – The principle of emphasis is an essential concept in the world of art. It highlights the focal point, the area where our eyes are naturally drawn, to make us look a little closer. By implementing the element of emphasis in our footwear collection, we have created the perfect accessory for your everyday ensembles.

Movement – Movement, the visual flow of artwork, is how artists portray motion in their work. Using the same principle, we have used lines, colour, and texture to give our footwear natural fluidity and gracefulness, so that you can wear it anywhere.

Pattern – Patterns make art more visually appealing, adding complexity to simple designs. At Dots Dash, we embrace the element of pattern to create exquisite shoes. We make artwork for the feet so you can stride forward with confidence.

Rhythm – In art, rhythm is achieved by the placement of colours, shapes, and lines. The principle is the same in footwear. By using key art elements, we can create everyday shoes that will help you find your rhythm and skip to the beat as you go about your daily life.

Unity – Unity, an important principle in art, creates harmony and evokes a sense of cohesion. It may be difficult to define, but it's an essential element in this artistic footwear collection. So much more than a shoe, unity is a way of life. Let it be part of your journey.
