Описание: Cult shoe designer John Fluevog has been creating unique soles for unique souls since 1970. Colorful and quirky, Fluevog shoes have graced the feet of celebrities such as Madonna, Jack White and Lady Gaga, as well as legions of lifelong fans who consider themselves more a community than mere customers. Known for cheeky slogans such as no, youre weird and the message engraved on the soles of his iconic Angel shoes: Resists alkali, water, acid, fatigue and Satan, the Fluevog brand is a celebration of individualism, creativity and humour. These values flow directly from the heart of Fluevog himself, who says that his mission in business and in life is to help people walk in spirit.
To mark his fiftieth year in the shoe business in 2020, John Fluevog has penned a love letter to Fluvogers everywhere in FLUEVOG: 50 Years of Unique Soles for Unique Souls. In this full-color, visually rich coffee table book, Fluevog gives fans and fashionistas a behind-the-scenes look into the brands evolution and his own creative process. For the first time in print, the iconoclastic designer reveals the sources of his inspiration, shares drawings from his personal sketchbooks, and opens up about his brushes with bankruptcy and battle with cancer. With his unmistakable jovial warmth, Fluevog reveals the ups and downs of the businesss evolution and his own personal triumphs and heartbreaks with disarming candor and intimacy.
Echoing the eclectic style of Fluevogs whimsical and witty zine-style catalogs over the years, the book features Fluevogs own design sketches and handwritten messages, blended with stories, graphics and previously unpublished photographs from the Fluevog archives. The book is a fascinating peek inside the colorful mind of the iconoclastic designer and a celebration of creativity and individualism, while also paying homage to the wild and beautiful John Fluevog shoes themselves.
