With a natural talent and love of arts and dance, Pierre Hardy takes inspiration from architecture and geometry rather than from trends and history. “My experience taught me how to add an accessory that will constrain the body, transform it in the proper sense of the term,” he said, launching his brand in 1999. He set the tone from the start; creating stylish sneakers, pumps and sandals for women, men and kids with distinctive geometric shapes, bold colors and uncluttered lines, all anointed with a sense of fun.
