From Igor in a thunderstorm to Olga by moonlight, not such a stretch no?

BTW: Georges, can you explain how the Demesure differs from the normal lines? I have seen no difference in, for example, the Andy Demesure, apart from marketing language.

Do I hear the strains of a woebegotten violin?

Some of these are indeed a bit out there, but I really like the earlier one.

It depends on how casual and funky you want to be, fran or no...

I rather like the (first picture) shoe on the left and the (last picture) shoe on the right. Particularly the last shoe on the right.

Well, right from the horse's mouth (or website):

"A pair of Berluti shoes will improve with keeping it; it will never age." Olga Berluti

Inelegant as a strange carcass at a Chinese butcher's.

Georges, your site no longer lets me view articles. I believe you now have to be registered? I have tried to do so but have failed. Please advise!


I apologize registration is working fine with about 8-10 new members every day ..BUT...the mecanism of registration is not translate well in english because I'm not fluent ! Just use an valid email form your provider or compagny. Email from free email host are not allowded (hotmail, gmail, msn, yahoo..).

For the reader who think that those shoes from Berluti are awfull..it's just your right..and mine is exactly the opposite !

I must agree with the last few posts -- not one pair of these even motivates me to care, except to ask: what the hell is with the Japanese? They go for some pretty outlandish looks. Is Tokyo becoming some kind of Westworld or something?

I actually like the 5-eyelet ones (burgundy and acorn), not so much the other ones. I would disagree with l'homme RJ here - the patina looks fantastic to me
