Sky-high, ornate, and the pinnacle of glamour, both restrictive and liberating, art object and deeply ordinary, shoes tell the story of shifting attitudes toward desire, power, and wealth throughout history. Lace up for a journey through the most enviable shoe closet from the permanent collection at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology-- and four centuries of fashion's hardest working accessory.Featuring designs from the likes of Salvatore Ferragamo, Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahník, and Roger Vivier, Shoes A-Z. The Collection of The Museum at FIT celebrates fashion's most revolutionary and coveted labels with more than 400 styles selected from the Museum's pristinely preserved collection. Texts from Daphne Guinness, Valerie Steele, Colleen Hill, and The Museum's expert team of curators explore the unique legacy of each of the featured designers and the lasting cultural impact of the shoe. Exclusive access to original sketches, advertisements, and photographs from the designers' private archives further illuminate the genius behind the functional, sculptural delights we cannot live without. Soon also available as Collector's Edition of 1,000 numbered copies, including three prints by Manolo Blahník created exclusively for this edition with a hallmark stamp. The 6/8 color drawings are printed on 100% cotton paper, by famed Italian company Fabriano, and are housed in a luxury portfolio with gold foil embossing and with a ribbon closure.
