Best known for his trademark use of unique materials and his creation of one-of-a-kind, "million dollar" shoes for Oscar nominees, designer Stuart Weitzman has been building a private collection of antique shoes, which features a similarly eclectic range of different types and styles. Lavishly illustrated with 100 colour photographs of some truly amazing shoes from the Stuart Weitzman Collection, this dazzling new book explores the evolution of women's footwear from 1870 to 1980.
Leading costume and textile historian Edward Maeder explores the impact of twentieth-century design and culture-including architecture, popular dances, Hollywood, politics and the emerging feminist movement-on the development of shoe design. A preface by Stuart Weitzman explores his lifelong love of extraordinary shoes, how they tell infinite stories and are a perpetual source of inspiration in his work.
With fascinating insights into the history and manufacture of footwear this is a must-have keepsake for fans of all things shoe related!
