For shoes or clothes, there are two kinds of appreciation mentality. One is the aesthetic appreciation of the object itself. The other is the appreciation of fame.
Knowing what people say is good, even if you don’t understand it, you can always see it and feel it. However, the pleasure of this shallower social attribute is quite natural.
I watch some seasoned connoisseurs talking about Chinese bespoke tailors and I feel that I understand it well. Although I can’t say it, I feel a little understand it. Then, foreign shoemakers, many of whom I interviewed, looked at pictures and listened to others talking about them, and felt that I know them too.
Right, rub the two together.
It’s not their works that give people the feeling, but their status is similar to the legend that gives me the feeling.
ZHANG Xiao vs Emiko Matsuda
ZHANG Xiao is the most sought after bespoke tailor in China at present. Correspondingly, it is the Japanese bespoke shoemaker, Emiko Matsuda, who came out from the British bespoke shoemaker Foster & Son and set up her own brand.
Similarly, there are several female bespoke shoemakers in Europe, such as Hendrikje Ehlers in Germany, who came from John Lobb St James.
BRIO vs Oliver Moore
BRIO’s customer base is very fixed and privileged. Correspondingly, I chose Oliver Moore, an old American custom shoemaker.
Oliver Moore is the most famous bespoke shoemaker in the United States and has served many powerful customers.
Lancer vs Il Micio
Lancer is the very good bespoke tailoring house in Shanghai. Kenneth, the manager, is increasingly expressing his talent. Il Micio is a custom-made shoe brand of Japanese shoemaker Hideo Deep Valley in Florence, Italy.
Now it’s not just shoes, but also bags. His greatest feature is his radical artistic creativity and infinite sky.
Stile Renaissance vs Mario Bemer
Although Stile Renaissance has been established for a short time, it draws on the strengths of many people, and its pattern is more and more refined, and the details are handled with great insight from the person in charge. The world only knows Stefano Bemer, but Stefano’s younger brother, Mario, who really adheres to the essence of Stefano Bemer.
Mario Bemer’s shoes are meaningful and grand.
Hiiwen & Liiyuan vs Adriano Stefanelli
Best at making pure silk suits, everything on him seems to have just slept. Adriano Stefanelli, a custom shoemaker, specializes in slippers, another name, the Pope’s man.
Because their slippers are not for staying home, but more magical.
