Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo are just a few of the well-known modern shoe designers who owe a great deal of their success to a gentleman from the early 19th century who was revered at the time for his style, manners and peace. Alfred Guillaume Gabriel, Earl of Ors, was a nobleman and an eclectic artist who married the British aristocracy. He became a touchstone for manners, taste, understated luxury in the royal royal court and high society.
Count Orsay won fame in France, Britain and the Rhone Valley as an artist, sculptor, dioer and wit. He was considered "the most perfect gentleman of his time." The cynics talked about people like Bo Brummel and Earl as dandy. The term “dossier”, commonly used in the first half of the nineteenth century, was considered to be derived from his name and meant a person who was an “archaist”. "
The privileged class at that time was very interested in all things related to fashion and vanity. Of particular interest are shoes and shoes. Since Catherine Medici, in Italy of the 16th century, wore two-inch heels to deny her diminutive height, chasing shoes with increasingly exaggerated boots became a passion. By the time the famous French king of the sun, Louis XIV, reigned, royal women balanced on high soles and heels so ridiculously raised that they needed a type of ski pole to keep themselves upright.
Count Orsay was a soldier in his early life and courageous. Uniforms and military clothing were very important to him. He was not pleased with the military dress shoes of the time. He designed military shoes for men in 1838. The profile of the shoes was not at all like the pumping shoes of the day, more subtlely fitting, with small sides and a V-shaped top. The silhouette became so popular that it was soon adopted by women. D "Orsay high heel shoe pump was born that.
“The Orsay pump leaves the sexiest part of the foot, a crooked instinct, naked.” The curve of intimate resemblance to the curves of a woman’s body, and she, as a rule, is not exposed, but hidden from view, ”said Christian Loubutin, describing the modern influence and popularity of the high heel of an rsa. Modern materials, technology and design are combined to make women's shoes. even more exotic and dynamic. Orsay’s selling styles, ds & # 39; s, reflect the development successes that innovative styles created in the opinion of Count Orsay.
The origin of the shoes developed by Orsay has been extremely forgotten. Most women who wear Ors do not even know the correct historical name for shoes. Nevertheless, the design is one of the most popular today, wears out and enjoys stylish women all over the world.
Count Orsu inadvertently created a rugged fashion style for women, trying to create shoes for men. Modern designers of high fashion took his shoes with directional shoes and jumped in style to the shows on the runway, department stores and boutiques, where they are united by more and more feminized fashion creations. This is a classic example of a product or design, evolving from its market of original intent to extremely more successful use.
