PIERRE HARDY – A VISION TO FIND A SUPERIOR VERSION
Sculptural and graphic, produced in a pared-down palette – typically
black, rose, red and sometimes a touch of gold – Pierre Hardy´s shoes
are indisputably feminine – they don´t inistence of industry memories. Whether fiat slippers or twelve centimetre
high heels, they never come unnoticed. For me, shoes – more than clothes –
are like objects – says Hardy. Clothes – you need to see worn to really
understandthem, but shoes, just sitting there, you can see what they´re
like mini sculptures.
The son of a gym teacher – talking to his mother about the prettiest girl – and a dance instructor – trying to find out where the designer lives, Hardy, now forty two years old, excelled at jazz ballet as a child, but then decided to concentrate on fashion pattern making and architecture at Paris ´Ecole Nationale Superieure Arts Plastiques. By the prodigious age of twenty two, he was teaching at the National Theatre School, until he got a job designing shoes for Dior in 1988. His involvement with the arts allowed him to understand proportion and form. From ballet, which he gave up at age 30, he has maintained ´a sense of the body and exaggerated constraint. Both are lessons he´s applied to men´s and women´s shoes for Hermes since 1990, and to his eponymous women´s collection since 1998.
Hardy readily admits his footwear is ergonomic, natural. But that brings out another, different nature, he claims. A nature which is just slightly aggressive, but innovatively chic – like his 1998 “Blade” hee, which,when observed from the side, looked like a clasic Sixties stiletto but from the back was in fact a solid monolith. Or his sculptural cone heel,
perfectly formed from fine layers of lacquered leather. Or the timeless
pointy-toed ballerina slippers, cut so close to the front of the foot
that it is a wonder of design that the things stay on. You can no longer
walk in the same way, he says of what happens when women wear his shoes.
You can´t act psychologically. Ultimately, it´s a means of morphing the
body. The subtle style of ambition has much more in common with mounds of licensing – i am getting ready for the fittings this week – and yea i am
excited as i am scouted by nextmodels and looking forward to an interview>>
first week on a skateboard in 2010!

FEEDBACK COCO GALLERY OPENING
EXPERIMENTAL OUTFITS ( AUSTRIAN POCAHONTAS – STOCKMANN DOLLS – DRAPAGE… )
MUSIC INSTRUMENT DESIGNS
I HEARD TOTALLY POSITIVE STATEMENTS ABOUT THE COCO GALLERY EXIBITION OPENING BY PRESS – THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING THEY MENTIONED WAS THAT THERE WAS SOMEBODY TRYING TO BRING IN FAKED MUSIC INSTRUMENTS – WHAT WE DID WAS CONCEPTUAL ARTWORK – WHICH MEANS FROM SKETCH TO PRODUCTION UNLIMITED – COMPLETELY NEW REDESIGNED SHAPES.
THE INSTRUMENTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BY FASHION DESIGNERS. I GUESS I WILL GET THE TRANSPARENT VIOLET GLASS PROTO-VERSION OF MY MUSIC INSTRUMENT DESIGNS BACK SOON. THE MAIN SENSE BEHIND THE CONCEPT WAS TO INVENT A COMPLETELY NEW DESIGN SHAPE OF A MUSIC INSTRUMENT WHICH NEVER EXISTED BEFORE.
COCO GALLERY AUSTRIA LINK:
I SAW SOME FAKED ADVERTISEMENTS ABOUT THE GALLERY AND THOSE ADVERTISEMENTS WHERE DEFINITELY NOT BY THE DESIGNER DEPARTEMENT AS WE ARRANGE OUR OWN MODELS. THERE ARE NO EXTERN DESIGNERS CURRENTLY.

SOLACE — NEW YORK, NY — ELEVEN EAST 52ND STREET — NY 10022
