Fashion Insiders: What is the fashion in your eyes?
Pierre Hardy: Fashion is the balance between creativity and elegance. Creativity is not yet known, and elegance is old memory.
Pierre Hardy studied art. Occasionally, he was invited by a friend to design a series of shoes, and the results were good.
He laughed, all this is accidental. If the friend asked him to design a costume series, he might now be a costume designer.
Recalling the first collection of shoes designed for the same name, Pierre Hardy said that they are a big gap from perfection. In fact, this series was very popular as soon as it was released. Today, his eponymous brand has bags, sunglasses and so on in addition to shoes.
While managing the brand of the same name, Pierre Hardy is also the creative director of Hermes jewelry and footwear. In 2013, he also designed perfume bottles for Hermès “Jour d'Hermès†for the first time.
"If I keep focusing on the same product, I will feel very boring, and I am very excited to change the field from time to time."
Fashion Insiders: Please use three words to describe your design.
Pierre Hardy: Modern, feminine and novel.

Pierre Hardy uses a lot of geometric elements in his design. “Geometry connects the past and the modern, it allows people to understand the relationship between art, architecture and fashion.†The past experience of learning art also influenced his current design.
He enjoys the process of painting, and drawing ideas into sketches is the first step in his design. In his view, painting is not only a way of thinking, but also an important way to test the quality of ideas.
But drawing is not a simple process, it needs to wait for the inspiration to fill before it can be expressed smoothly. “Completing a design, or creating a style, style, and sometimes very quickly, it takes only a few trials to complete, but sometimes it takes a long time.â€
However, the fashion update cycle is only three months, so he can only design a series in at least three months.
Fashion Insiders: What things in life can give you inspiration?
Pierre Hardy: A lot of interesting things, I would like to be able to apply to my design. However, what may surprise you is that many times, those shoes that are not perfect will give me a lot of inspiration. Because I will think about going to make it better.
Fashion Insiders: What is shown in the design?
Pierre Hardy: In design, I will pour in all my love. I believe that a design can express the love of the designer.
Fashion Insiders: What advice is for newcomers in the design world?
Pierre Hardy: First of all, you have to understand who you are, find what you love, and what you want to behave most.
When answering the question, Pierre Hardy always stared at the other person's eyes very seriously. Every time he encounters an unexpected problem, he will hold his chin and start thinking. After finishing the answer, he is satisfied with being a child and laughing very purely.
Fashion Insiders: What is the schedule for the rest day?
Pierre Hardy: I ​​don't have a fixed schedule, and I don't want to have it. Even on weekdays, my daily life is very different.
Normally, in addition to the basic work, Pierre Hardy often sports, so it is no wonder that his figure is kept so good. He often visits galleries and museums, which makes his life full and interesting.
When shooting, he took us to his favorite Emmanuel Perrotin gallery in the Marais district. The owner of the gallery is his good friend.
