This summer season’s ultimate men’s derby style comes from Clergerie. Founded in 1985 by legendary French designer Robert Clergerie, the brand became a household name among discerning shoppers in France and other European countries in the 1980s and 1990s. It has since lost some of its luster, but following the appointment of David Tourniaire-Beauciel as Clergerie‘s new creative director, the shoe brand is gradually regaining the limelight with hot designs for men and women. But let’s go back to this summer’s men’s trophies, shall we? The derby model, called Anima, totally fits the wardrobe of today’s urban dandy. Beautifully crafted from vegetable-tanned clay calfskin, it’s playfully paired with a contrasting bright yellow rubber sole and a visible leather welt. The shoe is available at Clergerie stores in Paris, London, Madrid, Geneva, New York City and L.A., in addition to a number of select stores across the planet, but can also be ordered online.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
