Shoes!
A Footwear Fashion Frolic
Lace up your boots and take a journey through the rich history of footwear.
Shoes tell stories about their wearers—their identity, wealth, origins, and the image they wish to project. Over the years, these stories and footwear styles have evolved. From André Perugia’s surrealist creations of the 1940s to Terry de Havilland’s iconic 1970s wedges, and the famous sneaker rivalry between the Dassler brothers that birthed Adidas and Puma, this book showcases the most captivating tales and personalities in shoe design throughout history. With stunning illustrations by award-winning Daisy Wynter, reminiscent of fellow shoe lover Andy Warhol’s style, this book is a delightful addition to any fashion or footwear enthusiast’s collection.
