Master of artisan shoe design and towering heel-less shoes Noritaka Tatehana, presents his SHOWcabinet. We take a guided tour

Master of artisan shoe design\u00a0Noritaka Tatehana creates pieces of art, both wearable and ornamental, that are steeped in cultural references so rich and well thought out, that each piece\u00a0ingrains itself in your mind for a lifetime. One of the most inspiring and important shoe designers of our time, Tatehana’s towering sky-scraper heel-less shoes are favoured by Lady Gaga and Daphne Guinness and his avant-garde techniques leave you craving more. He’s re-defining the meaning of ‘high-heels’ that’s for sure. Shifting the wearer’s balance forward on to the very tips of their toes, each pair of ornately sculpted and elaborately adorned stilt-like shoes draw reference from Japan’s vast cultural heritage, in particular from the ‘Orian’.<\/p>\n

Unlike the Geisha, the Orian were \u2013 \u00a0to avoid a not so desirable word \u2013 ‘women of pleasure’. They exemplified beauty in all of its guises. Regarded highly within society, they were a group of\u00a0visually alluring courtesans \u2013 with porcelain painted skin, rouge cheeks, intricately embroidered kimono’s and of course, towering geta shoes \u2013 that frequented\u00a0Japan’s tea houses during the vibrant Edo and Meiji periods. Completing their hair style by peppering it with pearls, from which they hung a veil used to seduce their clientele, for these women appearance was paramount and garments that embodied the highest height of artistry, were their mode of dress.<\/p>\n

It’s these\u00a0traditional Japanese crafts that Tatehana incorporates into his work and his SHOWcabinet curated by Niamh White, is no exception to the rule. Showcasing his traditional craftsmanship skills and the way in which he translates these into the language of contemporary high fashion, the cabinet displays not only his trademark sky-scraper’s but also his garments, sculptures and paintings that employ the arts of katazome, katakana and yuzen in never-before-seen ways. From the monochrome bomber jacket beautifully embroidered with Daphne’s name by Tatehana’s mother (who Daphne is a huge fan of), to the modern representation of a Japanese sword, inscribed in mother of pearl\u00a0with a humble quote from Tatehana’s father, and\u00a0Tatehana’s abstract interpretation of his SHOWstudio portrait \u2013 the display is wholesome welcome into\u00a0Tatehana’s world.<\/p>\n

Alongside\u00a0Tatehana’s own work, the cabinet also houses work by\u00a0artist and no.1 Nick Knight fan, Taisuke Mohri,\u00a0whose photorealist portrait on display combines the features of five different people, including his own mouth, under cracked glass. At first glance\u00a0Mohri’s portrait has the visual qualities of a photograph, but upon closer inspection you note that it is in fact an\u00a0immensely detailed pencil portrait.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the opening of the exhibition, the past three days have seen\u00a0Tatehana take residency at\u00a0SHOWstudio, creating a new pair of his iconic heel-less shoes broadcast live\u00a0online<\/a>;\u00a0and this afternoon will see the finished pair\u00a0worn by Daphne Guinness in a shoot with Nick Knight.\u00a0“We actually want to show the process of creating art, so we show people how the\u00a0artist works and we allow\u00a0people into that moment,” Nick Knight explained at this mornings launch.\u00a0“Previously art has always been presented as a\u00a0fait accompli\u00a0with no explanations provided\u00a0and I never believe that that provides a particularly good understanding of the artist or their work. So we encourage our artists to come and\u00a0create their work in front of camera. No one had ever seen Alexander McQueen cut a dress, so we actually got him to come into the studio and cut a dress! Right on camera\u00a0 \u2013 it only took him about 5 minutes!”<\/p>\n

Tune in here<\/a> to watch\u00a0Noritaka Tatehana, Daphne and Nick live at work.<\/em><\/p>\n
