Walter Steiger, sole trader
A Geneva shoe designer with Parisian flair.
Walter Steiger has boutiques everywhere, including a bespoke shoe shop on Faubourg St Honoré in Paris. The son of a cobbler, Steiger has worked with some of the biggest names in high fashion and today the enthusiastic 70-year-old remains a perfectionist and aesthete. His sons Paul and Giulio are now following in his footsteps. (Isabelle Eichenberger and Thomas Kern, swissinfo.ch)
