SPECTATOR-ke!



Spectator ili posmatracke cipele su muske i zenske sportsko/elegantne cipele koje su postale popularne 30ih i 40ih godina. Dzon Lob, poznati britanski obucar, tvrdi da je izmislio ovaj model jos 1868. godine kao obucu za kriket. Dva modela crno bela i braon bela varijanta su najpopularnije, mada su se 80ih godina kada se spectatorke ponovo vracaju u modu proizvodile i u drugim bojama. U pocetku pravljene su od telece koze u kombinaciji sa antilop kozom, a prednji deo se cesto izradjivao od isprepletane koze zbog bolje ventilacije tokom toplijih dana.Njihova popularnost nije zaobisla ni filmsko platno gde ih je proslavio Fred Ester kao plesne cipele, da bi ubrzo postale zastitni znak dzez muzicara i gangstera!
Dan danas spectatorke ne izlaze iz mode, a originalni modeli cekaju u Jane Doe vintage Shop-u na originalne vlasnike ;)

Spectator shoes are a men's and women's dress shoe.They are predominantly seen in black and white but other colors are not unheard of. John Lobb, the famous English boot maker, claims to have designed the first spectator as a cricket shoe in 1868. Spectator was originally constructed of willow calf leather and white buck or reverse calf suede. The white portion was sometimes made from a mesh material, for better ventilation in hot weather.Spectators for men were most in fashion in the 1930s and 40s, diminishing in favor in the 1960s, but making a return in the 1990s with retro and rockabilly, plus swing nostalgia growing in popularity. Fred Astaire wore them to dance in, and they became the signature shoes of jazz musicians, gangsters and zoot-suiters through the early 1940’s.
Today spectator shoes are still very popular and the original models are waiting in JANE DOE VINTAGE SHOP for future original owners! ;)
