The Myth Of Louis Weedon'S Shoes Is Really Deserved.

Speaking of LV, I believe it will not be strange for people who are hovering over the popular front line.

"When I look at a shoe, the first thing I notice is the elegance it embodies. This grace comes from the exquisite handicraft, and the feeling and the constant pursuit of excellence are the connotations of this skill."

Serge Alfandary, director of Louis Weedon shoe department

Driving from the outer island of Venice, Italy, it takes about 1 hours to reach the Brenta river bank, which is 33 kilometres away, and will see a shoe like building.

Maybe I heard too much along the way about the history of this area.

This is the Fiesso D 'Artico shoemaking workshop, designed by the designer Jean-Marc Sandrolini. After the official opening in September 2009, Louis Weedon integrated design rooms, production plants, art galleries and training centers in the same building, announcing the return to tradition.

All of Louis Weedon's shoe series are from here.

The Bata Shoe Museum is full of art.

"Although the building is pparent from outside, it can actually hide the internal situation very well, and we will not easily see the secret from the outside."

This is obviously the person in charge of Louis Weedon who encourages us to further explore.

When it rained, cool weather penetrated the body.

But when we got off the train and rushed to the warm and cool summer workshops, we were attracted by a huge lady's high-heeled shoes at the door: Jean-Jacques Ory's sculptures, and Botticelli's work, Venus, in her shoes.

Walking through the corridors of the central part of the building, the biggest shoe is seen.

No, there is a 4.7 meter long high heel shoe on the lawn of the workshop. The work is called "Priscilla" and is written by Joana Vasconcelos.

It is said that another pair of sports style shoes come from China.

The artistic atmosphere of the entire workshop can be felt in every corner, tired and cold, and can enter the exhibition hall of the workshop center. This 263 square meter area is used to introduce professional knowledge and skills, and display it with theme.

Drink hot drinks, enjoy elaborate sandwiches, and open a mini Museum and footwear library tour.

The works displayed on the spot include Chinese made hard wood like leather boots, and so on.

And Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama's footprints painted in ink, the original painting series of Andy Warhol and so on.

Further into the extension area of the exhibition hall, we came to the training center. The orderly arrangement of chairs makes people feel that the artistic atmosphere of this room is not at hand.

Innovation is not seasonal. This is the designer's place.

It's natural that the design room can make people look like a horse.

Louis Weedon's "shoe box" includes four workshops (exquisite women's shoes, soft leather flat shoes, travel shoes and men's classic shoes), and a design room and a planning department and its comprehensive quality laboratory.

As soon as I entered the door, I looked at a lot of shoe last in front of me, and listened to the craftsman who had worked for 35 years to tell the seemingly boring but basic work: "the first part is to make a shoe last, everyone's feet are different, but the arch part of the foot never changes."

Therefore, special attention should be paid when designing, some of which are of very good shape, but if they are not applicable, they should not be worn.

The reason why shoe last is made of wood is also for adjustment, even if it is cut more, it can be added back, and then plastic will be used after forming. "

The eyes float away from the white flower shoe last, and after stepping into the design room, they feel a completely different atmosphere: scattered products or semi-finished products everywhere, and a part of the shoe will appear in front of us in any way possible.

"Our shoe designer, Fabrizio Viti, works in Paris, but he often comes here.

Because this is a place to realize ideas.

Put all brainstorm ideas or materials that might be used.

Louis Weedon Fiesso D 'Artico shoe court public relations Roberta Polato Rossi said, "for example, crystal, and other fabrics."

At the scene, a shoe set with yellow topaz has made the best example: This is the new technology that has been trying.

And several showcase shoes are completely exposed to our eyes - snake skin and Swan wool knit at the heel, showing low-key luxury.

"There are no seasons, only continuous work and creation."

Roberta said.

Perfect technology depends on hard work.

In this workshop with 260 shoemaker, everyone can have deep foundation, for example, the craftsmen who work on shoe last to achieve this position, at least 5 years.

"The best way to learn is to practice in factories. This skill can not be taught by schools, but by talent and creativity, and from generation to generation."

He said.

In women's shoes, every worker focuses on his work.

Each part of the shoe must be made into a paper mold first and then sewn up the various parts, similar to those in the clothing.

The craftsmen who are responsible for these jobs are very close to designers because they shoulder the heavy responsibility of solving practical problems.

"Every time a real person tries, and the designer adjusts according to the situation to see if the shoe is finally suitable.

This is not a place of scale. "

Roberta said.

It takes an average of 2 days and 150~250 operations to make a pair of shoes, from the assembly of parts to the final use of the traditional saddle stitching double needle stitch of fine leather products factory.

The details of a pair of shoes may require 50 modifications.

Add the nails into your mouth, then spit out quickly and tap into your shoes.

When this scene appeared, everyone stopped at once and was shocked and unable to close up for a long time. But faced with this white haired old craftsman Ficado Voulizo, he could not easily disturb his dedicated working state.

This old craftsman is no longer an idle person, but of course he is not cool. This is the best skill he has gained from his experience over the years.

Every 300 pairs of shoes need to be sampled and found that there are 2 pairs of problems. The entire assembly line will be completely shut down and double checked.

And time is life: to ensure that 500 pairs of shoes for T show up in the workshop in less than 5 days, we must use constant brainwave to solve the challenge of quantity.

The craftsmen here seem to be intuitively guided by their own beauty.

They can use "hands" to judge whether the waist is symmetrical, whether the upper is perfect or not, and the outline of the Louis Weedon logo with a textured rubber sole.

In contrast to the designer's infinite creative space, the craftsman's inner desire has been awakened.
