    Hopefully others will come in with more info, but I understand that Maurizio Altieri designed the last that is used for some of the footwear - I think the shape of the backzips was his work.
    Was it?!! R u sure?
    I thought the credit is for Ruggero Guidi.
    Good to know Maurizio was involved.

          Are you sure? I.T warehouse? Only people that carry guidi in HK are Ink and I.T at the moment right?

            At was at some shop in sheng wan. Lots of vivienne Westwood, Fred perry, some jil sander mandals, dsquared jeans, galliano tees moma/mona? (italian) shoes and some other local labels. All the labels are cut away though. There was another pair of guidi with lace up front zip too.

              No, it's not GUIDI.

              And Maurizio Altieri had nothing to do with designing GUIDI's boots - that's a rumor.

                ^^^ Interesting, thanks for clearing that one up. I had been told (by a senior west coast based member here) that Altieri did some consultancy work for Guidi and designed the last. It seemed plausible (as do most successful rumours), partly because Guidi fits so well with the CDiem aesthetic. Well, whoever did design it deserves a round of applause.

                  Those red shoes look like maybe Marsell... they often have a more polished toe.

                    there is a rumor that Altieri designed the universe and some believe it

                      That seems quite likely to me - the universe definitely has that arte povera vibe.

                              Calf, or as Guidi calls it "baby calf". Either way a stunning piece of hide.

                                Are there much of differences in texture between babycalf, donkey and horse? As far as i see, horse leather shoes most often come in high polished which is not a very pleasant sight to me.
