    Christian Peau



    "Christian Peau is a Japanese fashion house whose design is
    understood to bridge the gap between modern avant-garde and classical
    artisan-based fashion. Unlike many of the cutting edge Japanese
    designers that have emerged from the last 10 years, Christian Peau’s
    design is much more European in nature. Its influence lies in the
    traditional European artisans from the early 1800s who were understood
    to be masters in their trades. Drawing from traditional shoemaking, and
    leather master craftsmen, Christian Peau has reinvented the antiquarian
    avant-garde in a modern, and beautiful manner.



    Although the collections presented by Christian Peau include cottons,
    wools, and other simple ready to wear garments, the emphasis of the
    collections is always the hand-made leather garments and shoes. Each
    shoe is made by hand in Japan, with an assortment of hand-stained,
    painted, and washed leathers that are compounded and nailed together
    for a truly unique outcome. The production of each piece of the
    collection mimics the concept behind the vision of Christian Peau. For,
    the roots of the collection are always spiritual, and are to be felt
    through the garment’s interaction with the body.



    To understand the vision one must first understand this philosophy as a
    series of levels of consciousness. The first level being the conscience
    primitive, which is sharing the most basic truths with the world’s
    people. The second conscience is understood as changing the perception
    of truth, and the already existent. Lastly, through the third
    self-conscience one must share and understand a universal sense of
    beauty. This lays the foundation for what aims the collection attempts
    to achieve, and how the pieces of clothing are to be interpreted by the
    viewer. Christian Peau understands that fashion is more than an
    aesthetic- it is an understanding and a delicate balance of beauty and
    humility. Christian Peau wishes to share this understanding with the
    world."

            LOL, merz...



            I guess I just find the heels (of the Christian Peau) kind of ridiculous....there is something a little too artsy-craftsy/try-too-hard about them.

              Peau means skin in french, I assume its a pun concerning skins and Edgar Allen Poe (dark imagery) but I could be wrong.

                  This is a pretty interesting brand.... I too was surprised that it was Japan based! I could have sworn it was European in some way haha.




                  Aside from the random leather coats that show up on Yahoo auctions (and I think I saw a couple items at Rue Herold) I've only seen this weird glove-doll thing by Peau in Berlin (Harveys and also at Ulf Haines). An odd little trinket.




                  The womens shoes look a little dated as others have mentioned. Cool brand in concept. Lines like this keep things interesting and keep the fashion world colorful (in the varietal sense) even if it's not one's taste.

                    Thanks for sharing, ndf.



                    Interesting that there's a Japanese label making artisan-based leather garments and shoes. My initial reaction is the aesthetic is fairly European anyway, though. I would be far more excited if they created products in this vein but with a Japanese twist.



                    I really like the look of that black dufflebag.

                    let us raise a toast to ancient cotton, rotten voile, gloomy silk, slick carf, decayed goat, inflamed ram, sooty nelton, stifling silk, lazy sheep, bone-dry broad & skinny baffalo.
