'Handsomely illustrated and meticulously assembled' - Shahidha
Bari, author of Dressed: The Secret Life of Clothes 'An exuberant
romp through footwear evolution ... a cornucopia of footwear
delights' - Flora McLean, Royal College of Art, UK 'A memorable
walk through a story of innovation, fashion, invention and
eroticism' - Giorgio Riello, European University Institute, Italy
'An elegantly updated and illustrated edition of an invaluable
reference book' - Alicia Kerfoot, The College at Brockport, SUNY,
USA From chopines to stilettos, Louis XIV to Louboutin, Shoes: An
Illustrated History is the definitive guide to footwear. This
revised, updated edition expands the classic work to include new
content on environmental and sustainability issues, and increased
coverage of more diverse, inclusive and contemporary designers -
such as Rupert Sanderson, Sophia Webster, Nicolas Kirkwood,
Charlotte Olympia, Amina Muaddi, Noritaka Tatehana. Shoes have
always been more than just a practical necessity. They reveal the
culture of the times in which they were worn - the sexual morals,
the social power play, as well as the endless shifting of fashion.
Rebecca Shawcross takes the reader on a fascinating journey -
packed with social and historical detail - of making and wearing,
of the spectacular and the everyday, of conforming and rebelling.
Lavishly illustrated with a dazzling array of shoes from all over
the world and now including a new closing chapter covering the
latest developments in design and technology, the influence of
social media and celebrity endorsement, this revision consolidates
the book's position as the leading reference work and overview of
this ultimate object of desire, from antiquity to the present.
