IF YOU think you know all you need to about what makes a shoe desirable, new designer Raphael Young is here to remind you what it feels like to fall in love. Already loved amongst shoe connoisseurs for his artisan approach to design and less-is-more approach to production, he is rapidly becoming the footwear name to know.
"Id say my design style is a constant search for the right balance between two sides of me, tradition and modernity," Young tells us. "I grew up amongst bottiers, who taught me genuine, ancestral craftmanship techniques. It clearly influenced my style and I take pride in working with these traditional techniques that were handed down from one generation to another."
