An astute exploration of the most outrageous shoe designs of the
21st century This fabulously illustrated book explores western
culture's fascination with extravagant and fashionable shoes. Over
the past decade, shoe design has become increasingly central to
fashion, with fashion companies paying ever more attention to shoes
and other accessories. High-heeled shoes, in particular, have
become the fashion accessory of the 21st century. Co-written by one
of the world's leading historians of fashion and an authority on
fashion accessories, the book features approximately 150 pairs of
the most extreme and ultra-fashionable styles of the past 12 years,
including work by such prominent designers as Manolo Blahnik,
Pierre Hardy, Christian Louboutin and Bruno Frisoni for Roger
Vivier, as well as shoes by influential design houses such as
Azzedine Alaia, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, and Prada.
Avant-garde styles by up-and-coming designers such as Japan's Kei
Kagami and Noritaka Tatehana are also highlighted. Shoe Obsession
examines recent extreme and fantastical shoe styles in relation to
the history of high heels, the role of shoes as a reflection of
their wearers' personality traits, and the importance of shoes in
art and exhibitions. The book is lavishly illustrated with
full-color photographs of spectacular contemporary shoe designs.
