The shoe store where he left his footprint

10. června 2011 v 4:34



When you walk into Joy Shoes at Taj Mahal Hotel, the first thing you step on is M F Husain's right footprint at the doorstep.

This insignia captures the artist's entry into the 70-year-old shop, which he redesigned down to the last corner.

The bonhomie between Husain and the Javeri brothers - Munna and Remu - who run the store, dates back to the early 80s.

Their friendship and Husain's love for the shop paved way for him to do a complete makeover in 2004 - a work of art which the Javeris treasure no less than an in-house art gallery. Remu says Husain took precious time out and offered to do it out of affection.

"There was no question of money. I don't think we could have afforded him,Hermes will never utilize any type of metal logo backing or nameplate in the interior of the adidas superstar" Remu smiles, adding how Husain spent hours chatting at the shop throughout the past 25 years.

You could not tell Husain what should be done and how, Remu says. "He had a spectacular vision of how his art would turn out. Nobody could visualise the décor he envisioned. Only once he completed his work did we understand its beauty.Each air max 2010 is an upgrade on the other, but the main thing that women will be getting a comfortable and high performance ride We were blown away."

Remu says Husain's approach towards work belied his age in every manner. "He would sit on the floor, ask for a sprawling white paper and draw shapes and figures on it, which eventually became the artefacts and design pieces in our shop.

From the dimensions to the gauge of the metal, he was particular about his work to the last T. Age didn't slow him down. He would get up from the floor quicker than any of us and walk barefoot around town for hours," Remu says.

While Husain walking barefoot is legendary, he would have his footwear specially designed by Munna. "Whenever Husain would wear any footwear, he would wear only Joy shoes. Even his family members are brand loyal to our high-quality leather footwear," beams Remu.
