Before twentieth Century, the shoemaker was a humble business.

The design of shoes is not considered an independent and artistic work, but is regarded as a part of the whole shoemaking process.

Designers are mainly in Europe because in the United States, with the rapid development of mass production of modern footwear, individual shoemaker is redundant.

The shoe industry in the United States has sprang up in new England colonies, where farmers make their own shoes in the kitchen in winter.

The whole family is involved in this work.

Men cut leather and shoes, women stitched shoes.

The workbench used by the shoemaker in colonial times has become a treasure of collectors.

Because of the skill of shoemaking, some of the farmers who had the courage to start a small shoemaking workshop. The three or four workers assembled and hewed the shoes made by the local shoemaker together and made them into finished shoes.

In 1750, Lynn, Massachusetts, built a shoe factory to further develop local shoe making technology.

Where workers are no longer independent in making shoes, every step of production is handled by a trained person.

The production line began to take shape.

The shoes were still made by Ting, but in order to keep workers busy in the off-season, the shoe maker began to make shoes without reservation.

These shoes are called shoes for sale and are displayed in the shop windows.

Harvey's two brothers used to peddle their shoes for sale in the vicinity.

In 1793, they opened the first shoe retail store in Boston, selling shoes on Wednesday and Saturday.

Since the middle of the eighteenth Century, inventors have been working on improvements in sewing machines.

It was not until 1790 that the first sewing machine specially designed for leather processing was pformed by an Englishman named Thomas Sant.

It's almost a vertical cone with holes in leather.

Sir Mark Brandler of the United Kingdom served as chief engineer of New York port. He invented a press that stitches the upper and sole with metal pins.

In order to fulfill his duty in the British anti Napoleon war, with the help of disabled soldiers, he produced 400 pairs of shoes a day.

After the war, the shoe making industry in England went back to the way of manual operation.

In 1810, similar machines appeared in the United States.

At the same time, two French people named wells and Bullard also made this kind of machine in Paris.

Brasi, a shoe maker in Stuttgart, Germany, tried to connect the upper and sole with screws.

In 1829, Mark, a man named Nathanael Neonardo in Massachusetts, Massachusetts, made the nail machine finally perfect.

In 1812, Thomas Blanchard of Massachusetts, Massachusetts, turned a lathe for gun butt to a machine for carving shoe last.

Shoe last is a wooden model made of shoes, and shoes are assembled on it.

In 1830s or in new England, shoemaker began to use the mold to cut uppers instead of relying on personal cutting skills.

In 1840s, the application of rolling mill in leather compression is convenient for the rear heel reinforcement of the upper heel.

The British continued to make shoes by hand until the late nineteenth Century when they were forced to turn to machine production under economic need.

They only discovered that all patents belong to Americans and they had to hire American machines and pay royalties.

But it also keeps England a strong tradition of hand-made footwear.

In 1846, Ellis Howie registered a patent for a sewing machine in Spencer, Massachusetts.

The machine can not only stitch cloth, but also can sew leather with wax thread.

Three years later, the American inventor Isaac M. Singer invented the sewing machine with pedals in Boston.

In 1858, Lehman B. Black invented a machine that sewed up the sole and upper.

Two years later, a gentleman named Mike perfected the machine.

In the next 21 years, Black and Mike jointly monopolized the machine shoemaking industry.

In Italy, the tradition of hand-made footwear lasted until twentieth Century, while in France, the design of booked shoes was closely integrated with the small fashion industry.

The fashion industry in Paris was founded by an Englishman named Charles Frederick Woos. In 1858, he started a fashion shop in Paris, at 7 of the La Pax Avenue.

He was the first to launch a batch of clothing every season, and called the young girl to be a model.

As the first person in the fashion industry, he was the first to build a system of design clothing, which can be produced in large quantities in Paris's factories and sold all over the world.

Princess Pauline de Mattridge, the wife of the Austria ambassador to France, wore a piece of his clothes to the court dance of Napoleon III, which gave him the first great opportunity.

Soon Napoleon III's wife, Queen Josephine, and other ladies in the court began to wear the clothes of VUS.

He designed the luxurious petticoat of the Second Empire and put a waist pad on the back, making it the standard garment for women in 1870s and 80s.

Woos dominated people's dressing taste. Before he died in 1895, he was making clothes for all the soap rooms in Europe.

Some clothes were sent to Queen Victoria's court secretly without even labelling them.

After the death of Wu Si, the business was taken over by his two sons, Jean Philip and Mr.

They soon realized that fashion was changing rapidly. In 1900, in order to catch up with the changing fashion taste, they invited the designer Paul Powers, who was only 21 years old.

The avant-garde costumes quickly appeared in the famous celebrities at that time.

After four years of work for the woods brothers, he left them and set up another stove.

At that time, some other clothing stores such as park, Sha Lu, and dout.

Paris has become the center of the world's fashion industry after springing up around the brothers brothers shop and adjacent to the Wanda Square.

Most shoemaking people work for fashion shops obscurity, but a few have become well-known shoe designers.

Fashionably dressed women in the likes of poseus or park are dressed in the shoes of the Chai Li street or the Laguna quirtleer street in the sherry street.

Pillet is one of those designers who can catch up with the trend.

Born in 1817, he was the son of a shoemaker in the countryside, who learned the technology of shoemaking from his father.

In 1855, he arrived in Paris and won fame with the brothers in the fashion industry, mainly because of the heel designed by him, which is thinner and more straight than the heel of the then popular Louis. After Peeler retired, his son took over the business until the Second World War, and Peeler's shoes were famous for their elegance and elegance.

When Pillet attracted thousands of customers in shoe shops in London and Paris, another famous shoe designer who started work in Paris during World War I only won 20 customers.

His name is Peto Anteni. He claims to be the "most expensive designer in the world", which ensures that he has a unique customer base.

His shoes are now displayed at the New York Art Museum.

After Yan TnI, Andy cruise is a young designer from les.

His shoemaking skills were learned from his father in Italy.

He was brought to Paris by Pillet and worked in many fashion companies.

The shoes he designs are now displayed in two thousand pairs of museums at the de la Shaw Museum in Norman, France.

Salvatore Ferragamo, a young Italy shoemaker, who emigrated to Boston in 1914, brought the skills of hand-made women's shoes to the United States.

Deeply disappointed by the way in which American machine shoes were made, he moved to California to become a prop producer and hand-made shoes for movie makers.

Soon the movie star began to buy his shoes.

After he returned to Italy in 1927, those stars remained loyal customers.

In 1930s, he developed cork bottomed shoes for more than 10 years.

After his death, his representative work was also exhibited in the world.
