CLAUDIA CIVILLERI
THIS IS ME
Palermo – Italy, January 31, 1986

My training clearly expresses the two fundamental sides of my professional character – a degree in Industrial Design at the University of Palermo and graduation in Design of Shoes and Accessories at the European Istitute of Design (IED), Barcelona. I always try to combine artistic creativity with industrial rationality. I like to merge forms and contaminate fashion with other forms of art.

THIS IS MY ARTWORK – UP SHOES

Claudia Civilleri’s UP SHOES is a very interesting project. The original idea involved the creation of models with polyurethane mould, but agree with the author, we have preferred a different process to ensure a higher quality of the finished product in terms of ergonomics and stability.
To copy the swelling obtained with the plastic materials, an embroidery machine of the seventies has been found again in a basement, a machine able to sew the strips of two-tone leather, with no visible seams and at the same time, entering expanded material into one of the two colors, creating bulges.
The shoe does not have separate upper and lining, but it is a unique piece. Also outside these are one piece, seamless and blocked just in front. In this way the product is very light and, despite the height of 105mm, the walk is not compromised at all.
A soft, comfortable and elegant object, but at the same time funny and ironic also able to mix style with industrial technology, simplicity of materials with the construction complexity.
