Treccani Milano has always prided itself in the painstaking skill their designers and master craftsmen put into the shoes they create. And now, a pair of their custom handiwork is going to be exhibited in a museum, just like a work of art.
Starting on October 2nd, 2012, the Tuxedo Shoes that were hand-crafted for Screenwriter David Shamoon when he attended the 2012 Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles and the Genie Awards in Toronto will be displayed in the Celebrities Section of the The Bata Shoe Museum, known around the world for its rare collection of footwear.When Shamoon's film In Darkness was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film of 2012 and he was personally nominated for a Genie Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the same film, he wanted to be wearing something special on the Red Carpet. Only Treccani Milano shoes would do for his feet. These shoes, which will share space with those worn by Marilyn Monroe , Elvis Presley , Elton John and Madonna, are indeed unique. Made of black glossy patent leather interrupted with a soft "mille righe" leather for a dazzling, but classic effect, Shamoon's shoes are from the brand's aptly named Oscar Nights Collection.Videos
