The Legend Of The Woman Shoe Maker Wearing The Basketball Shoes.

No one doubts that Amanda Olga is the soul of Berluti, much higher than shoes and brands themselves.

It is not the villas in the imagination. The apartment of Olga Berluti is located in a small lane in the old town of Paris. The letter box in front of the door reads the names of the tenants, and it is hard to find a small word: Berluti.

When we entered the courtyard, we found that there were great opportunities. Green vine plants climbed the walls of the buildings. The yard was full of red flowers. The sun played on the clear windows. It was the most beautiful season in Paris.

Olga's house is on the first floor, and it is also her studio in Paris. The room is not big. The back of the sofa is her bed.

On the tea table and on TV, there was a diminished version of the shoe, not only the men's shoes she insisted on, but also the women's shoes with beads on their feet, or even a pair of shoes worn by ancient Chinese three inch Golden Lotus.

"It's all the shoes of some old friends, because I miss them very much."

Olga's friends, many of whom are acquainted with custom, have no boundaries to distinguish between work and life.

As for small shoes from China, they were uploaded by their ancestors.

The Berluti family, which originated in Venice, Italy, is more exposed to Eastern civilization than other Europeans.

"This pair of shoes used to fetter many Chinese women, and they were very miserable.

Every time I see it, I tell myself that my mission is to make more feet free, because this is a part of life. "

Her mission began at 2:00 p.m. on February 9, 1959, and nearly 50 years of shoemaking made her have rough hands like men -- her hands destroyed by twine, nails, skin and shoes.

But these hands gave her an extraordinary price: a pair of finished shoes with Louis's 15 manuscript was worth about 900 euros, while the price of customized shoes was 3000 euros.

But she refuses commercial factors to influence the independence of creation, and the less she gets, the more free she is.

Therefore, she did not sign a cheque or took a penny herself. Her car is still a small white car bought in the 60s of last century, and now she has made some trouble for her.

At this point, even after Berluti became a member of LVMH, there was no change.

"Selling itself is a temptation," she said. "I should not be interrupted by the harsh sound of cash registers."

Olga Berluti is the last shoemaker in the world who has been following up from design to leather selection. This is the tradition of the Berluti family.

The second generation of Torello Berluti is her grandfather, and is also the person who takes her across the threshold of shoes. "Torello is a very bad tempered person, but he loves me very much. On the one hand, he wants me to marry and have a son like a normal woman, on the other hand, I constantly encourage me to learn shoemaking."

Olga chose the more difficult one. She became the sole shoemaker and the most successful shoemaker in the field of shoe making, an exceptions conservative and discriminating against women.

"Never let others know your vulnerability, not to be defeated by real life and women's weaknesses."

This is the way she believes in success.

During the interview, the florist delivered a bunch of lilies ordered by Olga. She got up and carefully changed the old flowers on the table.

She loves flowers, so flowers are indispensable in this room.

She also loves fashion. People only know her enthusiasm for shoes, but little is known about it. She once won the Golden Globe Award in Hollywood and the Kaiser prize in France as a dress guide.

"Will you make some beautiful shoes for yourself?"

"I rarely do it for myself, because it's not necessary. I like to wear sneakers. It's very convenient and comfortable."

She lifted up her trouser legs, a pair of Chinese white sports shoes.
