Elegant, vulgar, alluring, submissive, aggressive, subversive - the stiletto can be all these things. In the first illustrated cultural history devoted to the sexiest, and most desired, of fashion objects, international fashion authority, Caroline Cox examines the stiletto as a cultural icon, exploring its chameleon-like ability to embody a multitude of contradictions. Whether inspiring terror, arousing sexual longing, exposing vulnerability or projecting an image of efficiency, it can create a myriad of impressions. Emphasising the erotic zones of the body, the stiletto was brought to life by the flair of shoemakers Vivier, Perugia, Ferragamo, and Jourdan in the early 1950s. Since then, its seductive power has attracted a kaleidoscope of women from Italian and Hollywood starlets Gina Lollobrigida and Marilyn Monroe to fetishists, punks, powerful business women, and sassy glamour celebrities, Madonna, J.Lo, and the Sex in the City women.
