Alice's Shoes - Catherine Giacomini (2005)


A friend of mine named Catherine Giacomini created these in 2005 and showed them with us when I was organizing the Area shows in Paris for independent designers. The shoe was part of the collection entitled "Alice goes Me(n)tal." She was one of the original (and that means original) Martin Margiela Paris team members for many years (when MM was an independent firm) until the sell-offs began to the Italians. She left in 2004 to create her own collection in Paris which was picked up in the first few seasons by Armand Hadida at L'Eclaireur in Paris and Italo Lazzari in Treviso, and she later showed with us at Area. She eventually left Paris and now lives I believe, in her home town in Sweden where she is raising her family. She's a great person and a great talent, and she did some great work that unfortunately the retailer community at that time just didn't get (along with a lot other great independents) for a lot of reasons. The shoes are a masterpiece, this one pair was the only one ever made as far as I know- she was great at metalwork and she made them completely by herself- they were captured in this photo (minus strapping) which was picked up and run in a Vogue Italia editorial a few months later. - Geoffrey B. Small
