Pierre Hardy, designer of Parisian shoe brand PIERRE HARDY, is visiting Japan. He's holding an event at the Isetan Shinjuku store from April 3rd to 9th.

On the first day, he arrived before the store opened and personally displayed his products. "I'm happy that the event space has been beautifully completed, exactly as the design I sketched and sent in Paris. The Japanese market used to be different from other countries, but now Japanese fashion-loving women have the same sensibilities as women in New York and Paris. I want to further increase my brand recognition in Japan. I've held fan meet-and-greet events in the US, but this is my first time in Japan, so I'm really looking forward to Saturday. As a brand, I want to expand our business by expanding our offerings to include jewelry and scarves in addition to shoes."

The brand's products have been available in the women's shoe section of the Isetan Shinjuku store for the past seven or eight years. Limited edition pouches are selling well at events, with some customers buying in bulk. Also, Hardy himself is scheduled to visit the store on Saturday to interact with fans, and some customers are reserving items for purchase.
