/\ me too Cas. The "Memories" collection is almost done, but as NDF said, he's got something to sort out. A pretty big project on his hands atm, which can cause a tremendous delay. We just have to wait and see how he juggles everything.

I've been at Cheghini in Vienna recently and I saw they markdowned 50% some Avantindietro boots. I don't remember the sizes anymore, but I am sure there was a 40 among bigger sizes. They put on sale also a pair of canvas (linen?) over leather boots... I think this could be a good chance for everyone interested in buying a pair for a good price!

As for the shoe itself, the part that bothers me is the seam at the vamp/quarter area. The line goes straight down to the sole and I think it looks too unfinished.
However, the construction is very interesting, leather quality is very good, and I find the heel to be the most unique part of the shoe (low and shrunken).
I do agree with Casius that the shoe version looks more apt for this design.

Unfortunately I don't remember the exact size... could be a 40! I suggest calling Chegini asap... maybe they are still waiting on the shelf
Chegini has i think 4 stores in the same area. The one with Avantindietro was the one on the corner of Plankengasse 4 / Seilergasse.

It's a thin layer of linen over leather. So picture any leather shoe with a layer of linen over it.
I've designed shoes that use a similar material but only with standard canvas. The canvas was adhered together to a suede."because the young are whores. dealers come to carol to get the rock"

also why did you bother to bound the canvas to the suede? from experience the glue shows through and its not really necessary

I have plenty of things, although it's not very 'SZ' (I design for the skate industry).
The material that I've used was actually developed by an outside vendor and you cannot see any glue through the canvas. It's been sandwiched together and whatever adhesive that is used, it isn't like normal glue (I'll find out more on how it's bonded tomorrow). Another cool thing was the suede backing is actually perforated for better breathability."because the young are whores. dealers come to carol to get the rock"

on a tangental note I really hope that someone with ro sneakers takes them for a skate when they loose their appeal, or are at the end of their life.

I think we might get to see a little bit of Avantindietro in a couple days:
Antonio Salieri is curating a display of works by 7 designers, one of which is Maurizio Altieri's Avantindietro. "UN GUARDAROBA PER UOMO ESTATE 2009" on the 21st. Other designers include Kostas Murkadis, Comme Des Garcons, FQR, etc.

bringing this back to the top with some shots of two Sartoria pieces that showed up randomly on Yoox. The jacket went for $690.

well, I'll admit they're not the best Sartoria examples out there but interesting to see at the very least. It is odd, but that vintage tapestry undercollar was used by Maurizio on many many Sartoria jackets for some reason. Never really knew why.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs
