Description and Table of Contents
Description
You don't have to be a fanatic who owns dozens of pairs of Manola Blahniks or a foot fetishist to appreciate the joy of footwear. This address book celebrates every aspect of the essential shoe, from the ingenuity of its engineering to its potential to make personality-enhancing statements. Featuring colour photographs and details of 21 of the most gorgeous shoes ever made, including Ferragamo's purple suede stilettos, embroidered silk evening shoes from Dior, slippers from 18th-century France, Isabel Canovas' whimsical "banana" shoe, hand-painted cocktail shoes from the 1920s and funky leopardskin pumps from 1960.
