This book reviews the history of shoes from ancient times to the present, concentrating most heavily on "western" styles. The text is quite substantial and informative from a writer and a publisher with good reputations. It is lavishly illustrated in both color and black & white with photographs of shoes and reproductions of historic illustrations. As compared with catalogs and chiefly pictorial collections, it has fewer shoes and more context illustrating social attitudes and people wearing shoes and much more information. There are sections on some of the most famous contemporary designers. The is a detailed table of contents and a substantial index, but no bibliography aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Colin McDowell looks at the exclusive world of the bespoke shoemaker, charts the rise of quality mass manufacture and highlights the world of the great designers, such as Perugia and Ferragamo, as well as those of today: Vivier, Clergerie and Blahnik, and their counterparts in the new generation of shoe designers. He also delves into the darker realms of fetishism and imagination, revealing the place of high-heeled shoes and tightly-laced boots as objects of erotic fantasy, and their relation to the fairytale images of Cinderella's slipper and seven-league boots.
