For spring 1999, Pierre Hardy created his first collection of womens shoes under his own name.

The style is established, and the approach is a radical one.

The uncompromising collection produces cutting-edge pieces with pointed shapes in sliced leather with razor-sharp heels.

The introduction of men's shoes to the brand in 2002 turned Hardy's attention inevitably to sneakers, which have gradually found their way into the lexicon of his exquisitely elegant women's shoes, as in this season's preposterously fabulous 'Speed' stilettos.
