The gaudy and gaudy art seems to be very talented
Italy's last, France postprocessing shoes, British standard.
Before that said when JT shoes, men's shoes in the circle had such a sentence, refers to the main features of the National Men's shoes.
The more fashionable, Italy shoe are pointed, narrow body, tough lines. British shoes belong to the "golden mean", less publicity, rounded, low-key, less fashionable than Italy and france.
France's last between Italy and England, than many British fashion, but also in Italy not so exaggerated, the overall is still relatively slender, exquisite elegant luxury, but later is unique in its ability to use color in the shoes.
France's shoes are most famous Berluti and Corthay, Berluti overall, I feel still relatively low-key, sedate, although famous for wiping color, but mostly black, brown and other dark based. Those who like the color clean and bright may not pay much attention, such as me.
The first time I saw the shoes of Corthay, it was really amazing to me. Corthay can use the color of the bright colors in such a perfect and delicate way. It is gorgeous but not gaudy. It is very artistic and unforgettable.
May be due to Berluti and Corthay to enter the country, are also increasingly popular leather shoes brush color, and even a lot of domestic manufacturers in the imitation, but made extremely ugly, almost one hundred percent of all color fameng, dirt, looks a little dirty, these colors for me are grey.
Drawing skills can be acquired later, but the sensitivity to color is natural. The ability to use colors, the birth of a large number of Impressionist painters of the French, may be gifted.

Berluti although the color is also dark, but the colors are clean, not gray. While Corthay is better, the use of high brightness color dazzlingly beautiful, in the shoes, formed its own unique color style, complete the shoes as a drawing board, we can identify the Corthay shoes.
Classic Arca Sevres Corthay is the most commonly used shoe, the shoe, Corthay probably has a default last 70% shoes. It is divided into three different widths, the standard Sevres, the widened Pullman, the widest XL, in which the Pullman width is more suitable for most domestic guests.
Wilfrid with the Odeon of the shoe, different from the Sevres small square, Odeon toe shape is more rounded, may be more in line with Chinese aesthetic and wearing (but I choose Sevres or last).
In fact, the slogan of Corthay is "color", that is "Corthay"! (La, couleur, C, EST, Corthay)
Out of curiosity about Corthay, introduced by the Chinese ceramic artist Wang Bo teacher, the founder of Pierre Kose (Pierre Corthay) conducted a text interview. (actually, I want to know more about it. Unfortunately, Pierre is not in China, so email has asked a lot of questions.)
Maison Corthay was a personal brand created by Pierre Kose, a French gifted footwear guru, Pierre in 1990, when he was 27 years old, Corthay. Its design and manufacture of shoes unique style bold, with the ancient law turn color (Patina) for leather shoes bring unique leather luster, since then began the high-end custom leather shoes legendary journey.

Kk:bespoke how long will it take to customize a pair of shoes?
Pierre: from scratch, it takes about 60 hours or even longer before and after.
The whole process in Europe can be completed in about 8 months, at home for about 1 years. In Beijing, there are two events in a year, and artisans will come to offer feet and try them on. Therefore, the domestic foot is usually the first time, and the second is the kind of shoes to try on, and then into the shoes will be in the next event when the guests. It's enough to try on a sample of shoes once in a while. There are very few guests who may need to try it second times (on the first try).

One of the major features of Corthay is our Patina color transfer process, and the color transfer on the leather is the most varied. In addition, the days after wearing leather, month after month and year after year, also on behalf of those years to accompany the master in the story of shoes.
This pair is the shoes that a customer ordered when Pierre Corthay founded the brand in 90 years, after years of wear.
KK: what are the factors that influenced your design style? Who is your favorite designer or artist?
Pierre: in shape and design, the first source of my inspiration is the vehicle lines, such as the number of cars (of course, there is the classic models) ships and airplanes (of course also classics). For me, our shoes are like miniature cars. Of course, in addition, art, especially painting, also has a profound influence on our color usage.
KK: what would you like if you asked me to choose one of your favorite items from Corthay?
Pierre: if I can only choose one, I can only say "the next one"".

KK: what do you think of your customers? To what extent can the customer influence the design of the shoes during the customization process?
Pierre: the most important thing I learned from customers is that you must always be a loyal listener. Some customers are very talented. Therefore, we must listen to their opinions carefully, not blindly listen, but pay attention to their ideas.
KK: what are your plans for the future? What are your good plans now?
The future of Pierre:Corthay will be exciting, we released a revolutionary new product, such as sports shoes, leisure shoes, Le Fu (Cannes), and our full range of leather products, the future will continue to our range of products.

KK: usually Chinese instep high, feet wide, there is no Corthay for customer China the last optimization?
Pierre: for Chinese and other Asian customers, we created two special shoes wide, and according to the shape of the instep toe to adjust, to ensure that Chinese customers wearing Corthay shoes are very comfortable.
KK: customers are more concerned about this three factor price, and shoe brand, compared with other brands of high-end Corthay brand men's shoes, you think what are the advantages?
Pierre: I don't think we sell shoes to our customers. Customers come to us to buy shoes. I think Corthay and the customer are very understanding. Once customers understand the quality, design, service, and personality that Corthay can provide them, there will be no more concerns.
KK: compared with other countries like Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Japan and so on, is there any difference in the buying habits of Chinese customers?
Pierre: I don't think Chinese customers are as conceited as European customers". They see products, like products, and then buy them. This reaction is more direct and natural.
Summary: the French love of their products, natural artistic sense, coupled with no less serious than Japan's persistent, Corthay shoes production quality is beyond reproach, China is not good, artistic. If you are tired of the color, you can also go to the store to change color, of course, can only be changed to the deep.
Try after feeling a lot lighter than British shoes, not too hard, the whole partial slender, if too strong may be estimated in the proportion is not too fat too wide foot coordination, it will estimate the footwear is not wide enough, if only to custom love.
It is worth mentioning that, Corthay for all shoes sold will provide lifelong maintenance free, as long as it does not involve maintenance, are free of charge.
Corthay for leather shoes nursing, is used for glacage, is to take care of this is method of mirror polishing, waxing method of skill and patience are very demanding. With wax and water cotton repeatedly and circle in the shoes are coated on the surface, forming a layer of wax wax make shoes in shoe surface, eventually showing a mirror like the same effect.
Corthay mirror maintenance level is very high, most brands of mirror can not do this effect, probably some Japanese professional shoes can do, but the charge is very expensive. (this is the whole shoe mirror, just to show the effect, usually can't wipe, walking wax layer will crack, generally only in the toe rub mirror effect.)
One of the reasons I do not like polishing the mirror is that it is too strenuous, and it is really not easy to play. The effect is very good, and it needs experience to accumulate. Corthay professional staff in the store to take care of a pair of shoes, at least an hour or so.
Finally, show me my shoes, and finally choose the classic Arca, the Sevres shoe last, the width is Pullman, and made a wine red.
