WHY A WOMAN AND A MAN SHOULD WEAR GOOD SHOES

NUE Wien

25.–27.9.2015

NUE WIEN makes contemporary leather sneakers using traditional techniques of the shoemaking craft. In producing completely repairable shoes, NUE Wien is safeguarding and vitalizing the tradition of a dying handicraft and is setting standards in international slow fashion. The shoe factory collection is produced and presented in the new studio in the center of the charming Carmelite quarter. For the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, master shoemaker Nicole Üblacker provides insights into her shoemaking techniques in an exclusive workshop series. The opening is combined with a discussion in salon atmosphere.
