“I remember being out in the field in Iraq. We’re getting constantly mortared and I looked across at a buddy of mine, and we just started laughing. Because there’s absolutely nothing you can do.” This is Thomas Dang. From 2004 to 2008, he served as a Marine Corps Staff Sergeant over two tour…

Chris Francis: Shoe Designer at CAFAM
I’m not quite sure how this was my first visit to CAFAM (Craft and Folk Art Museum) on the Miracle Mile considering I have been to LACMA perhaps 5 times this past year, but I’m so happy I finally went in and I’m so happy it was during a Chris Francis show. I know admittedly little about shoes or fashion but I like to think I can appreciate both and Francis’ wearable (?) creations had me marvel at both their craftsmanship and the prospect of someone actually balancing in them.
An admitted fusion of “high fashion, 20th century art movements, and punk rock,” Francis’ designs are the equivalent of entering a bouncehouse at your best friend’s birthday party. Buoyant, exuberant, and just generally cheerful, each of his pieces had a giant personality and equally fascinating explanation for how they were constructed (thanks to the nicely written accompanying wall text).
My only mistake at this show would be not coming when Chris Francis was in-house, having relocated his shop to the museum during the course of the exhibition, “working and demonstrating the methods he utilizes to design and craft his shoes.” Try and check out the show while he’s there, I think that will make the construction and craft of his pieces even more unbelievable than they already are. CHRIS FRANCIS: SHOE DESIGNER CLOSING SEPTEMBER 6
Thanks for stopping by and for the great review, labriefs! We’re sorry to hear you missed Chris Francis. He’s back in the shop now and working away, so feel free to stop by again and say hi! You can view his up-to-date schedule here.
