Interview mit Noritaka Tatehana
Noritaka Tatehana ist derzeit in aller Munde. Seit Lady Gaga nicht mehr von ihm loslässt und seine Schuhkreationen 24/7 an den Füßen trägt, fragen sich viele, was der Designer sonst noch geschaffen hat und ob er bereits an weiteren Schuhen für Lady Gaga arbeitet. Der japanische Designer hat MTV Style jetzt ein Interview gegeben und über seine Zusammenarbeit mit der Popqueen, seine Kreationen und seine Visionen gesprochen.
What was your inspiration for your heel-less shoes, the ones that Lady Gaga wears?
"I am interested in history and in the old culture and would like to divert them into modern world. The unique and creative shape comes from "Kan Pokkuri," which used to be clogs made of empty cans. In the old days, Japanese children used to make these clogs, passing a cord through holes made in the cans. After placing each foot on a can, they tried to walk, holding the cord in their hands."
How tall are they?
"They are approximately 23 centimeters high"
How much does one pair of shoes cost?
"The price ranges from $2,500 a pair to $4,000."
How many pairs have you created for Lady Gaga?
"So far, I have made five pairs for her. Most of them are customized. I start making them after talking things over with Nicola."
