Re: ahhhhhhhhhhh
Corthay is hardly conservative. He's got some models (like the Buca, the one I'll probably start with) that toe the line of being conservative, but that's it. From what I've heard, he also dislikes making conservative shoes - he'd much rather collaborate on something unusual with a client (ie stingray spectators, etc) than make 10 pairs of black captoes.
Also, Fuuma, from what I've heard - between Berluti and Corthay, go Corthay. Berluti has the look, but I've heard that the quality isn't there - Blake stitching on a $1200 shoe? Pierre Corthay is responsible for a lot of the design behind Berluti's current line - but his shoes are also crafted beautifully, either in the Paris workshop (bespoke) or in a Corthay owned workshop in the Paris suburbs (RTW). I read somewhere (London Lounge or Styleforum) that Berluti does some of it's construction in China.
