Pierre Cox (

Pierre Corthay's life is inseparable from leather.

The French

Shoemaking

Life is from the famous handicraft industry.

association

Les Compagnons Du Tour de France started.

After that, he worked for a while in the famous French shoe maker John Lob (John Lobb) shop in Paris for a period of time, then pferred to the shoe factory Lobb (Berluti) as the workshop supervisor.

In 1990, he set up his own business.


The shoes made by corse are very famous. The price of each pair of shoes is 3000 euros (or more than 4080 dollars), which takes 3 months to complete.

Brunei Sultan is his most famous customer.

Brunei Sultan made 150 pairs of shoes in one breath in 1992.

Corse began making shoes in 2001, and began working with brands like Lanvin and Yamamoto Teruji (Yohji Yamamoto).


Corse interviewed the Wall Street journal at his studio in Paris, talking about the importance of shoes, the movie "American style painting" and why he liked to go to places where no one went.

The following is an edited interview.


I started dealing with leather at the age of about 9, from 1970 to 1971, when the social atmosphere was still very eccentric and hippy, so the leather products I made were simple things like bracelets, belts and small bags.


To make a pair of good shoes, the quality of leather is very important.

Shoemaking is like cooking. Without good ingredients, nothing can be really good.

You have to have the best materials.


Shoes are the tools you use to walk through life.

People spend more than half of their lives wearing shoes.


My grandfather used to tell me that he was too poor to waste his money on cheap things.

So I believe that having six or seven pairs of expensive shoes is more sensible than buying ten or twenty pairs of shoes.

If you have six or seven pairs of customized shoes, it will last 25 years.

If your shoes are uncomfortable, it's torture.


We are like fish in Asia.

Asian customers appreciate our products very well. They know how well our shoes are.


My design got a lot of inspiration from the vehicle.

The first time I saw the Shinkansen in Japan, I was deeply shocked.

The body is absolutely crazy about aerodynamics and appearance design.

Like a human foot, the Shinkansen body has curves, no edges and corners.


The work experience at John lob Paris store has a very special meaning for me.

It was in 1983, when the old craftsmen were still there, but it was already a sunset.

It is indeed my pleasure to see the traditional shoe making technology that has been lost.


In 1992, Suzy Menkes, International Herald Tribune, interviewed me.

After reading the article, Ms. Brunei's personal belongings in Sultan called me and said her boss wanted to see me.

Brunei's attitude towards design is very open in Sultan.

It took me two years to make his shoes, and that was a great experience.


Paris is a very livable city.

Unlike New York, it has another kind of energy.

It's big, but it's not too big.

Its size is just right for a big city.


I like French singer Serge Gainsbourg very much. I like his very humorous and relaxed temperament.

He is a good example to me.


Paris is a dream spot for the catering industry.

I like Le Baratin snack bar very much, and Verre Vol is also a very good pub.

The way they cook is not at all complicated.

Very simple, but well controlled, just right.

Even butter is perfect.


I love going to the cinema, whenever I have time.

I am not a filmmaker, but when I was young, I discovered the American Graffiti of George Lucas (George Lucas), which had a great impact on my life.


In the south of France, there is a mountain of purple, where the hills and valleys are very primitive.

I like it very much because it's quiet, and there are few people there.


My advice to young craftsmen is to be very passionate.

You have a very urgent desire to dedicate 200% of your life from the very beginning.

Talent is not totally useless, but it is not the most important factor.
