       Historical shoes

More that I look at pictures of  historical shoes, more I realize how I love this shoe. They was worn and lain so many ages, and looks no worse than our modern shoes, I would say that the old shoes for me - it is a work of art. 

Historical and designer shoes on my pinterest blog post

I close my eyes and imagine how it was made.It was a long and tedious manual labor of shoemakers who created shoes from a sketch  to the handmade pair of shoes. Yes, dear readers, you heard right, until recently, shoemakers were the designers themselves. This term appeared and became popular only in the last 50-60 years, when the whole world, thanks to the popularity of Hollywood stars have become familiar with the names of pioneers - shoes designer, Andre Perugia,  Salvatore Feragamo, Roger Vivier who shod these stars  Historical and designer shoes on my pinterest blog post .  They made the shoes by themselves and introduced many innovations in shoe design. 

 I miss those times, although I have not lived at that time. And I am feeling that this is my longing for those times driving images of my future collection in to my imagination. Too tight, I plunged into the history books, and spend much time browsing in virtual museums of shoes, so it is somehow reflected in my collection, which I now cooking. A very interesting museum, one of them http://eng.shoe-icons.com/collection/ethnic.htm

Who can stop the "Super ram"

                                            "Super ram"

A week ago I had a whole day of running around  all government institutions, where I came face to face with the inhuman face of the terrible bureaucracy. I do not like to deal with all these receipts, certificates, and here I couldn't solved it thru the Internet and  had to come directly to the Institution, where I experienced all the disadvantages of the system led by the indifferent, tired and unhappy clerks for which people - is annoying flies, which they dismiss anxiously. 
I do not know how the bureaucracy in your country, my dear readers, but in Israel it has a fat, ugly face. Frankly, I think that the bureaucracy never has a human face, and we all have to deal with her beastly grin. So after returning home all irritated and annoyed, I wanted revenge! Pretty stupid, and of course useless, but I sublimated all my anger into creativity and made shoes, visually displayed all my intentions. 

                                               

  Some would say that it is kitsch, but I love the kitsch, and I just wanted to make kitschy shoes.
I present to you my "Super Ram"new pair of shoes for a hike in state facilities, which of course does not really butts, but simply creates a sense of moral comfort in the walls of the stuffy and impersonal system.

               

                             

Have a nice week end!

Japanese Designers

Japanese Designers

I am a big fan of Japanese fashion and Japanese designers. It's fun discovering new and unknown  to the general public designers. They are all united to me in the general name of "Japanese designers' traits such as a simple but appears as complicated at first glance, cutting, layering, and monochrome, clear conceptual line collections. We are all familiar with the works of Kenzo, Yohji Yamamoto, Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe, Rei Kawakubo (brand Comme des Garçons) but know little or almost do not know (at least I have until recently), new names, so I want to bring to your attention. Watch and enjoy, as I do!

THE PROJECT

THE PROJECT

Well here I finally sat down to try and make THE COLLECTION, my long time conceived collection, that I'm caring with me for the past 8 years, It actually feels like a really long pregnancy and your bally is getting bigger, but doctor tells you to wait. "The baby just on his 350 week!!!  It all started with my final student project. I designed a shoe sole that integrates into the shoe itself, in other words, the leather sole is the shoe. The project :

Nevertheless, I continue to develop this theme and I want to achieve 
or not achieve the limits of the features and functions of leather soles in shoes. I present to you, my dear readers, the first sample from the collection of so-called "skeleton of a shoe" (I named it), which inspired by the work of one of my favorite architects, talented and unique Santiago Calatrava. http://www.calatrava.com/

You are the first to see the beginning of my collection 

which I will upload very soon to www.kickstarter.com and will try to get me some funding for this project, so it is very important for me to know what you think, what you understand, just give me your thoughts on a subject I'll be really grateful.

Have a nice weekend.

Who needs Vintage? No Vintage for me

Who needs Vintage? No Vintage for me 

I don't like the shoe bows, flowers and other decorative items that are simply glued to a classic shoe, boots or sandals, except kitschy and totally brave design, which I love. For example (photo).
http://www.anastasiaradevich.com/site/index-1.html #
Because it is something quiet and unpretentious, and therefore acceptable, and "friendly" to all, that is not a reason for me to like it. Particularly fashion in recent years has vintage style everywhere,  it lined up  absolutely all styles of clothing, pretending to be vintage. This is why, when I hear it I immediately have negative attitude biased on everything around me. Okay, I will not talk about it now, But will come back to  this topic, I promise.
To make it  short, after several unsuccessful attempts to make a decorative element using the pattern cutting technique, and not just gluing the decorative part, that's what I did. Those are  photos of the process, creating a two-layer shoe design.

Shoes, smell of glue, hello fresh ideas!

    ! Shoes, smell of glue, hello fresh ideas  

Today, I reminisce a time when I was in Italy. I lived in a small village called San Mauro Pascoli , the core of Italian shoe brands, such as Pollini, Vicini, Casadei, Sergio Rossi. Unfortunately, in addition to these Pattractions and beautiful sights, this town couldn't offer anything else. Giuseppe Zanotti himself, The big chief of shoe styles and global commercial success gave us, greenhorn students, lectures. I rented a room at some designer villa, right in front Sergio Rossi and Pollini family houses. When meeting new people was silly to ask what they do, because 90% of the local population were cooked in the shoe business. In short, wherever you look, everywhere, there were the smell of glue, and people, so simple and uncomplicated. This was, of course, a wonderful time, but if I was there again, I would have done things differently. I would, for example, in addition to tuition and indispensable practice at the plant would go as an apprentice to some old shoemaker. To one of those who all their lives making shoes, like they used to make them, all handmade from beginning to the end.

 I always love learning something new, and even now, after many years, I continue to accumulate knowledge in the field of hand-made shoes and thankful for any information. Lately I find a lot of good and quality information in the video tutorials by  Marcell Mrsan, in which, as always, I came across recently on the net. I like his blog and hishttp://handmadeshoes.wordpress.com/about/
and his YouTube channel with tutorials  on creating hand-made shoes. This is probably one of the best sources in this field, which I found on the Internet. Everyone who interested in shoes, I suggest to check out Marcell Mrsan tutorials. For myself, I found many tips! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c13m_kEllGE&feature=relmfu
Happy browsing. See you soon!A

Ready for the "Kickstarter"

Ready for the "Kickstarter"

Last night my friend asked me to upload my new project , which I am working on for quite some time, to the www.kickstarter.com. "Kickstarter" is a community of creative people who help each other realize their projects, and it's based on real financial assistance. I'm, as someone who has realized the benefits of the Internet just recently, had no idea of the existence of such groups. At first I thought it was just like facebook where you can gain popularity regardless of the quality of your work or whatever else that you do, which is not my strongest side. But then, looking at the projects uploaded on "Kickstarter", I found there a lot of really cool ideas and talented people. I really liked this social network. Here is where you can get an objective assessment of your work and get real help for projects that would have remained undone. I particularly liked this project:

For all those who have interesting ideas and there is no financial support, I advise you to pay attention to www.kickstarter.com

Good luck to all!

Shoemaker- Making a Shoe Pattern

Enter your email address:

Shoemaker- Making a Shoe Pattern

I love to travel and, until recently, until I became a mother and wife, all my belongings was placed in a huge suitcase. During my studies I imagined  my life as a concept,  that I will  travel from one place to another, with my tools in the suitcase, doing my craft, making shoes all over the world.

Time passed and things have changed, but the suitcase is still with me. In it I keep some patterns and lasts, and for all my tools and equipment I have accumulated  I had to rent a studio. And now I sit in my studio, thinking about the past and dreaming about the future. It all began with the ordinary course of shoe modeling in Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem. 

Influenced by nostalgia that came over me, I had an idea to show you how to make a basic model (camicia- Italian). Frankly speaking,  it was the thing that draw me to this profession in the first place.

Several comment 1. Cut the attached pattern with a knife, or you can use abrasive paper. 2. At the end of the heel, step in 2 mm to round the corner of the pattern, and draw a line from the middle of the heel to the end. 3. When checking the paper pattern, it should be formfitting the last. 4. For those who have insole ready , should attach the paper pattern to the last together  with the insole.

That's it for today, If got any questions about this post and the video, you can leave a comment or contact me directly. Thank you for reading.

I'll be back next week with new stuff, stay tuned.
