Carol Christian Poell - the famous fashion genius of the dark sides.

Carol Christian Poell, an Austrian designer who holes up in a studio in Milan's
Naviglio district where he quietly designs an ultra-niche, cult label that he
doesn't always produce and only shows to the public when he feels like it. His
articles of clothing and  accessories are quite extravagant in terms of
production  technologies and materials.
Carol Christian Poell was born in Linz, Austria in 1966 and now lives and works
in Milan,  Italy. After having been trained as a men's and a ladies' tailor in 
Vienna (Michelbeurn), he studied fashion design at the Domus Academy in  Milan
where he also founded the production and distribution company  C.C.P. Srl
together with his partner Sergio Simone. After having  presented his first men's
collection in 1995, he developed his ladies'  collection from classical elements
of traditional menswear three years  later.
Horse Cordovan, Cow Leather Seamed Tornadoe Boots; one of the most desirable
piece of work.
Carol Christian Poell is an on your face kind of artisan, creater and father of
a new wave of production concepts. The first experience with his shoe/boots
might lead one to think of as if what wrong did he do to feel the pinch of
creativity. After a few days of wear and one fine day voilà, you are feeling
amazing and super-psyched; the shoes/boots have moulded to your precious foots
so nicely and you've became a part of the creativity. Carol's creations are
fondly called as CCP among the followers and there is a hysterical following for
any item which comes out of his design workshop, on a very limited numbers.
Wrap-around boots
Bone Derbies
Object dyeing is synonyms with CCP leather works. Object dyed Cordovan spiral
zippers
Object dyed Kangaroo, slow dye process
And one of the most coveted piece of leather boots, not only among CCP line but
also from the staples of other comparable design houses. Object dyed no seam
drip leather sneakers
Kangaroo leather with latex dipping
Object dyed unlined Kangaroo dipped derbies
And an eye candy - Object dyed seamless tornadoe boots
Personal verdict:- Although I love his philosophy and all of his creations, it
does not go that well with my wardrobe aesthetics because of my passion for
Japanese Denim. However the Tornadoe boots are an exceptional call.
