Make it Work The Parasol Pump PinCushion by Jane Miller My theme this year was figuratively inspired by Tim Gunn, the mentor of Project Runway, known for his "Make it Work" catchphrase. My parasol pump is functional art - if it's going to be on display it might as well serve a purpose -- in this case as a pincushion. I have a handbag design business in Madison called East Side Bags. My favorite handbags have an Asian flavor and I like to design my shoes as a variation on this theme. Each year is a new and exciting challenge to see which of my many collections can be incorporated into the shoe design. This year I chose the parasol and used parasol fabric and metallic paper parasols to decorate my shoe. Even the zipper pull on the pump is a tiny silver parasol. My handbags are carried at the Green Parasol on Williamson Street, on the the fashionable East side of Madison, and at Rupert Cornelius, Hilldale, on the equally fashionably West side of Madison.
