There is something both zen and surreal about the above exchange. Like two masters dueling each other in their minds and not making a move.
Is there a winner? Is there a loser? Or are those binary classifications too limited to express what transpired here...

maybe that stockist had been too busy and had seen too many things to remember a chronology.
PH is a shoemaker. though he had sold bags and print t's before he started the clothing line, adopting some directional opinions of someone else.
it's true that altieri wanted to try on a PH jacket a retail emperor happened to be wearing, and went home in it. but that was years after the advent of CD washed leather shirt.

to be fair, in the early 00's, he made it public that she was in charge of the clothing line.
anyway it was great footwear and a bit of bags and t's that he was making when altieri was calling the leather shirts maximum expression of carpe diem.

Oh, I wasn't trying to belittle Mr. Harnden's achievements. The man has created a singular world and that's good enough for me.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Wouldn't you say memoria feels more like old-world gentleman's shoes more than anything else? I've only handled a few pieces but the leather was very good, not distressed. The construction was incredible (I don't know what welt he used exactly, norwegian or norvegese or whatever, but I know it when I see it). As for the shape, it was definitely a bit strange at first sight, less "modern" and streamlined in a sense.
To me it seems the man is trying to bridge the gap between traditional italian shoemaking and carpe diem.too skinny for rick

arby it seemed to me altieri is a wanderer who is trying to see traditions through concerns of our time and describe the future with the traditional eyes.

I'm not sure what the influence with concept was, but I think the end result is quite beautiful despite being quite different than what we are used to seeing with the recent works. Then again, the Avantindietro projects were the ones that took a step towards something more out of the ordinary; Carpe Diem footwear was often if not always based on more classic shapes"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION. NOW NOW this is it people, these are the brands no one fucking knows and people are like WTF. they do everything by hand in their freaking secret basement and shit."
