Are These Elephant Dung Heels Hot Sh*t or Just Crap?

While we can’t speak to their structural stability and or durability, elephant dung certainly makes for an interesting biodegradable material. (The scatologically inclined should also check out reindeer poop as a fashion resource.) These 10-inch stiletto heels, created by a London artist/mysterioso who goes only by the handle “INSA,” were commissioned by the Tate as part of a series of design “responses” to a recent exhibit by Chris Ofili, a painter who smeared elephant manure on his controversial 1996 piece, The Holy Virgin Mary.
