THE MASTER SHOEMAKER’S CUT A closer look at Berluti’s ‘0 Cut’ lace-up court
This season, the quintessence of Berluti’s bootmaker know-how and expertise is embodied in the 0 Cut (pronounced zero cut) and is available in the timelessly chic Démesures shape, in deep black Venezia leather or emerald alligator or, as always, tailor-made to one’s special order. The 0 Cut, first unveiled during the Fall Winter 2018 prêt-àPorter show, is the purest expression of the iconic Alessandro
lace-up court shoe. Each shoe is handcrafted from a single leather piece and with no stitching on the upper for optimal comfort. The Alessandro was created by Alessandro Berluti in 1895 and has since remained essentially unchanged, swiftly becoming Berluti’s emblematic shoe. Following the Alessandro tradition, the 0 Cut is also crafted from a single piece of leather and is entirely devoid of stitching
