An aspiring shoemaker, Arthur Veillon served as a Young Ambassador at Homo Faber, the wide-ranging exhibition of Europe’s finest craftsmanship in Venice in 2018. He is a member of Les Compagnons du Devoir, the association in which young artisans gain valuable skills through a series of apprenticeships. Arthur recently worked alongside the masters at Maison Clairvoy, the Parisian atelier that crafts the shoes worn by the famed dancers at the Moulin Rouge. To him, the opportunity was both a privilege and a responsibility: “It’s up to us, the new generation in this métier, to continue to learn in order to pass it on to the next generation after us.”
