The Piercing Collection

"A court shoe that can be worn by dukes and hoodlums alike"

“A pointed court shoe that cuts people down like a rapier-sharp epigram you wished you’d thought of first. A shoe with underworld overtones, I wanted it to be like skin, gashed and scarred, with body piercings and tattoos. A shoe that has seen life and is not afraid to wear its scars with pride”

Piercing - Tatouage

"A vision and a mystery"

“Now, to the new dandies, I propose that they mark their shoes just as they mark their skin.
I would like to see, at their feet, flame-spitting dragons, fantastic animals, royal eagles, the tattoo artists’ entire animal family. Or, in the manner of a secret inscription, cabalistic signs which they alone can decrypt.
The masters of the art have taught me this: the true tattoo is not a fantasy, a charm to be displayed. It is a vision and a mystery.”
