Patrick Frei, for me, is creating a number of the most enjoyable, mind-bending and inspirational footwear of in the present day’s providing within the business.
I’ve been which means to jot down about Patrick’s again story for about three years now and have been failing him for not doing so. It’s simply that it’s a historical past that might be written as a brief novel and barely do I’ve four spare hours to jot down weblog posts nowadays.
I’ll ultimately get round to it however in the intervening time, please see one among his newest creations that’s merely mind-blowing in each side of shoemaking.
Sample – That is basically a wholecut adelaide with intricate shaft work. I can not even describe it. That’s how distinctive it’s. It defies categorization. And that’s subsequent stage shoemaking proper there. However for me, it’s stunning. Superb even.
Form – Patrick loves asymmetrical appears which he has executed with this final, fairly closely as you possibly can see within the image from the highest down. However what I like about his work is the very very Victorian fashion that it has. The form is very of the Victorian period from the heel to ball ratio, and ball to toe ratio, in addition to the self-love of the final. Very Victorian certainly.
Making – Properly as Patrick received the very first Bespoke Shoemaking Championship, it goes with out saying that his making is out-of-this-world good. It’s good truly.
Mixing all three of the above simply goes to show his excellence as a shoemaker. I all the time stay up for seeing what he comes up with subsequent. And it’s best to too!
