Exploring The Development Of Foreign Shoe Culture

Before the century, the shoemaker, like carpenter, blacksmith and tailor, 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.

The famous shoe designer mainly rises in Europe, because in the United States, with the rapid development of mass production of modern footwear, the individual shoemaker is redundant.

The shoe industry in the United States has sprouted in the new England colony, 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 is now a collector's item.

Because of the mastery of shoe making skills, some of the brave farmers set up a small shoe workshop. The three or four workers assembled and hewn 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.

At first, shoes were still made, 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 finished 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 that can punch 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, a man named Nathanael Neonardo in merry Mark, Massachusetts, made the shoe machine last perfect.

About 1812, Thomas Blanchard of Massachusetts, in Massachusetts, changed the lathe of a butt gun into a machine for carving shoe last. The 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.

Only then did they discover that all patents belong to the Americans. 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 mechanism shoe 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 opened a fashion shop in Paris, 7 de la Pax street.

He first launched a batch of costumes every season and called young girls to be models.

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 afterwards, Napoleon's wife, Queen Joseph, and other ladies in the court began to wear the clothes of VUS.

He designed the luxurious petticoat of the Second Empire and added a waist pad to the back, making it the standard garment for women in the seventy and 80s nineteenth Century.

Woos dominated people's dressing taste. Before he died in 1895, he was making clothes for all royalty 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 changing fashion tastes, they invited the designer Paul Bo, who was only 21 years old.

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

After four years of working for the brothers, he left them and set up a new business.

At that time, some other boutiques -- Park, Sloat and downer -- also sprung up around the brothers brothers store and the neighboring vadam square, and Paris became the center of the world's fashion industry.

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 La Guran, the sherry street, or the ferry of the de La Guran Bartley street.

The one of the designers is the one of the designers of the park.

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 in the fashion industry with the help of the brothers, mainly due to his designed heel, which is thinner and more straight than the popular heel of Louis.

After Pillet retired, his son took over the business.

Until the Second World War, 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".

This 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 another young designer from les.

His shoemaking skills were learned from his father in Italy.

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

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

Salvador Feragamo, a young Italy shoemaker, who emigrated to Boston in 1914, brought back the craft of hand-made women's shoes to the United States.

Disappointed by the way in which American machine shoes were made, he moved to California and became a prop producer, and also made hand-made shoes for people in the movie industry.

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.

In 1940s, a young British named David Evans came to the west coast of the United States after Ferragamo, and became the shoe designer of Hollywood stars.

He also designed leather shoes for the most famous fashion designers in New York, including Bill, Blass and Oscar de La Renta.

Meanwhile, legendary Roger Vail went to Paris to work for Kristian Dale, where she was famous for designing high heeled women's shoes.

His creative works are also the target of art museums worldwide.

Now there is a new generation of shoe designers in Europe and America. Although no Museum has noticed them, their works have been favored by customers and fashion designers.

Mauro Blanik, Joan Hal Penn, mod fry, Beth and Jobert Lewin, Andre fist, Jan Jensen, Patrick Cox and Kristian Lubos are more inspired. Their works will also have the same status as their famous predecessors in the future.

Their shoes will be appreciated as works of art, not just feet.
