The Most Expensive Footwear Artist
Pierre Yantorny – this name means a lot for many footwear designers. At his time he was called the most expensive footwear designer. Being practically uneducated, he managed to found a real footwear empire. People queued in front of his shop in the desire to buy his absolutely expensive shoes, and this is despite a huge sum of money a client had to pay before the master started to fulfill his order. Sometimes a client had to wait for several years before his shoes were ready.
The most loyal client of Yantorny was a millionaire Rita Leeding, for whom the master had made more than 300 pairs of pumps. Today all this shoes collection is exhibited in Metropolitan museum in New York. However, it had always been Yantorny’s motto: to create not simply a footwear item, but a masterpiece, worth being exhibited in the best art galleries of the world. However, this is why his shoes were so highly-priced.
Silk, leather, lace, velvet and even the feathers of marabou or hummingbird – this list of materials, that the artist used for creating his masterpieces, can be continued. We believe, there will be no woman, that would refuse to have a pair of Pierre Yantorny shoes in her wardrobe.
