The artists Mariana Fantich and Dominic Young created fashion pieces that are decorated with teeth. Of course the teeth don’t come from real human dentures but are artificial realistic replicas. The collection called “Apex Predator” includes shoes for men and women as well as a suit made of human hair which is decorated with the trademark teeth and glass eyes.

For the creation of the men shoes an original Barker Oxford pair of shoes was used and 1050 dentures were fitted on each sole. Moreover, towards the frond golden teeth are placed. Similarly, for the women shoes, a pair of Empire Jimmy Choo pumps with 500 dentures.

The two creators of this collection, which is not actually for real use but more for artistic exhibition, described their work with the following phrase: “Apex predators are predators with no predators of their own, residing at the top of their food chain.”
