F O O T N O T E S
Non sappiamo se Mehmet Kurdash, fondatore del marchio Gina Shoes nel 1954, abbia visto o meno il disegno di Warhol, ma é certo che il modello (1962) é un'anomalia in seno ad una produzione solitamente elegante.
I Rattles sono un gruppo di Amburgo degli anni '60 che ha diviso stile e palco con Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Beatles e Rolling Stones. Sciolti nel '74, si sono riformati alla fine degli anni '80, pubblicando l'imbarazzante "Hot Wheels" che tentava inutilmente di suonare contemporaneo.
Secondo lo scultore Rik Phillips, "Training Wheel Stiletto" é un'opera d'arte, ma il suo capolavoro é quando spiega cosa lo ha ispirato. Se avete tempo é QUI.
Infine Anthony Ausgang, sebbene sia l'ultimo arrivato nella sezione "scarpe con ruote", non meritava di vedere storpiato il proprio nome due volte (su due) sul Sole 24 Ore.
We don't know if Mehmet Kurdash - Gina Shoes' founder back in 1954 - saw the Warhol drawing. Nonetheless the 1962 model is one-of-a-kind in a otherwise elegant production.
The Rattles are a German '60s band who played early in their career with Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Beatles and the Rolling Stones. They split-up in '74 and "Hot Wheels" is their doomed come back album from 1988. They went for a modern sound falling flat big time.
According to sculptor Rik Phillips, his "Training Wheel Stiletto" is a work of art. We don't know, but his story about the inspiration behind it is priceless. It can be read HERE.
And finally, Anthony Ausgang. He's the last in line when it comes to "heels on wheels" but he didn't deserved his name mispelled (twice in a row) on the pages of the Italian economic daily Sole 24 Ore.
