Transcript of Oliver Sweeney AW15 Lookbook
From its earliest beginnings to its digital future, photography is all about the alchemical blend of science and ar t. Everything that contributes to
that perfect shot is a blend of luck, skill, craft, and technology.
The Cobbler-in-Chief was inspired by how this blend of ar t and technology so closely resembles the way we approach our own craft,
developing traditional shoemaking techniques for modern walks of life. Taking inspiration from every aspect of photography, from the skillof developing film, the details of technical equipment to the hectic
lifestyle of a busy photographer, we exposed every angle of the photographer’s world, fusing technical fabrics with classic design,
for functional, beautiful objects.
Colours were inspired by beautiful landscape photography, with a wide spectrum of browns, tans, burgundies and blues, as well as
plenty of black for good balance.
The AW15 collection of footwear, clothing and accessories takes a photographer’s attitude to this theme, blending it gently into some pieces and going all-out for others, but always remaining cohesive
and true to the assignment.

Diane Arbus “A photograph is a secret about a secret; the more it tells you,
the less you know.”
Great photography evokes its ar tistry not only through the image, but through the story it tells. Only the best photography blends the two, to
become iconic.
Our top-quality trainers use the same leathers as our Italian collection on rubber cupsoles; combining the best quality uppers with versatile
soles, for the kind of photographers who would stop at nothing to get the perfect shot.

Irving Penn“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and
leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it.”
Film is the connoisseur’s preferred method of photography. The process by which photos are developed has hardly changed since the bir th of photography itself in the mid-19th Century, and is heavily
rooted in that mysterious blend of ar t and science.
This purist approach is perfectly reflected in the crasftmen-led way in which we create shoes in our Italian factory, with the entire collection
taking inspiration from vintage photography, techniques, film,and the cameras themselves.

Henri Car tier-Bresson “The camera is a sketchbook, and instrument of intuition and spontaneity.”
Professional photographers will go to any lengths to get the right shot, and traverse different environments from contemporary London studios
to remote shoot locations, switching from the mean streets torugged terrain with ease.
The Goodyear welted collection reflects the effor tless switch between these two environments, featuring functional material combinations with
modern textures and clean design.

COMPASS COLLECTION
AUTUMN WINTER 2015
Irving Penn“A camera is part Stradivarius, part scalpel.”
Three really is the magic number for Compass this season: combining John Thomas Smith’s 1797 ‘Rule of thirds’ theory of aesthetics and framing of a picture (in short: good things come in thirds), with the physical makeup of a camera body, where the larger central body is
flanked by top and bottom pieces, often in contrasting materials.
Taking inspiration from this blend of influences, Compass is a capsule collection of contemporary, minimal trainers and boots, finished with
contrasting panels of Stead’s leather.
