Countryside is the inspiration

J.M. Weston got inspired by the contrasted richness of nature. According to Michel Perry, Artistic Director of the French luxury House, Countryside is no longer a departure from elegance and style. It is an art of living. Nature itself represents an amazing creative magma of textures, colors and shapes from which the creative mind of J.M. Weston can tell a great story of shoe-making.
By revising the countryside landscape, the French Manufacturer paints a portrait of a raw nature that blends mineral and vegetal together in a perfect harmony. Here is what J.M. Weston says about this new collection: “On a winter’s morning, the spongy moss and the crunch of fallen leaves beneath the confident steps of gentlemen populate forest scenes from Fontainebleau to the Highlands. Shades of green, brown and orange blend with a rocky, unruly grey as nature comes to the fore.
This raw, untamed landscape and stomping ground for devotees of country sports provided Michel Perry with much inspiration to tell the COUNTRY GENTS story.”
