PORTRAITS OF SHOEMAKERS

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE SHOES

Paul Harnden Shoemakers

“Even if you repeat a simple method,

If you continue doing that, a new world of creativity will emerge."

He moved to the UK in 1985 and enrolled in a prestigious college in London that has produced many shoe designers, but dropped out due to lack of interest in automated shoemaking. He then joined a long-established shoe manufacturer as a wooden shoemaker, but left after a year and a half. In order to make only what he wanted to make, he established his own brand in 1987. Even now, he only makes his products by hand, using minimal tools such as a hammer and chisel. ¥144,900 (MORERIDE)

Who makes the shoes?

There were craftsmen whose rebellious spirit was present in every form and detail. There were creators who depicted the past and the future at the same time, and designers who simply continued to beautifully decorate all feet. Of course, these were not sculptures or art pieces. What they made were simply shoes. But there was unwavering conviction in them. They were imbued with elegance, masculinity, and sometimes even fetishism. That is why they were called, with respect, shoemakers. People who simply continued to make shoes. There is no better portrait of them than their own shoes.

nterview by Cristina Frasca, february 2022

i am really fascinated by your creations that refer to an apparently suspended time. they seem to evoke distant memories and yet they are so actual. What is your background?

I don’t have an educational background in fashion. I didn’t study it nor did I work for any other designer before I started my own brand. But my mother used to be a designer, and as a parent she put a lot of effort in our esthetic upbringing: teaching my sister, my brother and me about the worth of sustainability, the richness of natural products and the beauty of comfort and utility. Some are now very contemporary themes of course, but on those subjects, she turned out to be way ahead of her time. When we grew up, our mother had a childrens clothing brand, later she had her leather label called ‘Kai’. I guess the sum of all that has been my education. Read in full via VOWI

This September, ink invited pioneering artist Maurizio Altieri to participate, and together with the gallery THE SHOPHOUSE, Maurizio's M_mor

Translation version) “To be discussed” M_moriabc by Maurizio Altieri

This content is a translated version of the original content created by @inkclothing and Mascara_11.

“For me, Carpe Diem is the story of a young man who wants to create his own worldview.” After selling the highly successful Carpe Diem, Maurizio Altieri spent most of his time and energy subverting his previous design concepts, breaking through the shackles of cultural and aesthetic horizons, and the process of constantly sampling and re-sampling.

Maurizio Altieri said “For me, shoes are not just a fetish, they are a medium.” The conceptual system he proposed was M_moriabc (memento mori a b c, souvenir). The ABC series, each with 11 pairs of shoes, was based on three precious shoe lasts that he had spent years hand-carving from wood. The original intention of the project was to interpret design based on traditional craftsmanship. While constantly evolving, it also constantly challenged the shoemaking technology that was considered to have reached its limits at the time.

John Alexander Skelton debuts his AW24 short film and special collection with ink. Explore his unique blend of history, music, and craftsman

John Alexander Skelton: My work is a continuous dialogue. (Mascarar_11 , INK, JAS)

INK:

What was the inspiration behind the exclusive pattern designed in collaboration with the artist Oliver McConnie?

JAS:

The inspiration behind this pattern comes from my AW24 collection, which is my interpretation of the works of the band This Mortal Coil. Essentially, I had Oliver listen to their music and provided him with notes about the collection that he was already familiar with. Their music has a very ethereal and almost Gothic feel, which led me to explore the Gothic movement through early forms of art and architecture. This became the foundation for Oliver to create the print, but equally important is that he also brought his own world into it.
