EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of exquisite red and cream loafers designed by the legendary Pierre Cardin. These iconic shoes were worn by none other than Fats Domino, the trailblazing African-American pianist and singer-songwriter who played a pivotal role in shaping rock and roll music. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, these men's burgundy and tan leather loafers exude timeless elegance. The uppers feature wingtip toe caps, heel counters, a panel over the tongue, and trim around the foot opening - all rendered in rich burgundy leather. Contrasting cream leather adorns the rest of the uppers and tongues. Adding an extra touch of sophistication is a decorative design punched into the burgundy leather at the center of each toe cap as well as along the edges of the wingtip and counter. For optimal comfort, wide brown elastic is sewn behind each tongue for an adjustable fit. The shoes boast fine craftsmanship with their leather soles, stacked wooden heels painted black with rubber heel caps. Notably, Pierre Cardin's logo and name are incised onto these distinctive heel caps while a square metal "p" logo adorns only one side of the right shoe's heel. Inside these luxurious loafers lies light brown leather lining that extends to include inner soles for added comfort during wear. A blue label featuring cream text bearing Pierre Cardin's iconic "p" logo proudly declares its origin: "Pierre Cardin / PARIS / MADE IN SPAIN". This remarkable footwear captures both style and history - a testament to Fats Domino's incredible talent as well as Pierre Cardin's enduring legacy in fashion design.
