HOSTEM INVENTORY

Maurizio Altieri first presented M_Moria, a line of bespoke, handmade shoes, in 2012. Altieri's approach is deeply philosophical and experimental, guided by an interest in construction techniques and unusual treatments that speak of a less obvious form of luxury. The project is defined by three stages: past, present and future, represented by the letters A B C in linear order to suggest continuity. Altieri uses materials, tanning techniques and classic cordwaining methods that draw from his extensive research into the ancient art of shoemaking.
