Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton help you to decide the design T4?

Hmmm, I dunno. I may start to question everything you've said so far...

I'll wait to see how they work out IRL.

good one... with necessary explanation to boot!

This is an upper, they are not lasted (as yet).
Uppers on their own are shapeless, just like the two Vass ones here dangling on the stairs.

I think he meant the last they are going to be tacked onto, not the uppers themselves. It's pretty obvious that there is no last anywhere near the uppers in that picture. Anyway, I don't think of Bestetti's last shapes as "tacky". Spectacular -- maybe, but still tasteful.

can't see the last shape in that pic at all.

Seriously: online style blogs and forums must have been a significant boon for many artisans. I, for one, had never heard or read about Bestetti before this thread. Now he has my respect by all accounts.
