In Step with Fashion: 200 Years of Shoe Styles

By Norma Shephard

This fresh new book offers an intimate look at shoe styles. More than 550 color photographs reveal foot fashion favorites and their correlation to ever-changing social factors. No other item of apparel is so closely related to the senses as shoes: the scent of leather, the click of a stiletto, the softness of a satin bedroom slipper. Is it any wonder that today shoe lovers form collector clubs, produce shoe videos, and organize sneaker subculture events? But what makes a shoe collectible--design? workmanship? celebrity association? Savor past designs and glimpse the future of shoe styles through the work of avante-garde designers John Fluevog and Danny Sullivan. The glossary, index, and value guide assist archivists, researchers, clothing dealers, designers, and dedicated shoe hounds.
