aviya serfaty: prosthetic leg for women
recognizing that most prosthesis available on the market today are bad imitations of the natural leg, or are simply thin steel poles that disregard the female body silhouette altogether, 'outfeet' aims to embrace the idea of a prosthesis not only as a medical device but also as a fashion accessory.

‘outfeet’ by recent industrial design graduate aviya serfaty is a new prosthetic leg designed
especially for amputee women. recognizing that most prosthesis available on the market today
are bad imitations of a natural leg, or are simply thin steel poles that disregard the female
body silhouette altogether, ‘outfeet’ aims to embrace the idea of a prosthesis not only as a medial
device but also as a fashion accessory.
the product’s first focus is to meet the wide variety of needs in day to day life: the design features
adjustable knobs that create artificial arches in the sole to adapt to whatever occasion,
from simple commuting to sports. a separate high heel component can also be added for
an evening look. there is also a collection of flexible skins that can be stretched over
the carbon fiber body to give the leg a different look and silhouette without overbearing
the prosthesis with additional weight.
