Description

Shoe Obsession: A Fascinating Exploration of Extreme Fashion This lavishly illustrated book delves into the world of extravagant and fashionable shoes, exploring western culture's enduring fascination with high-heeled styles. Over the past decade, shoe design has become an increasingly important aspect of fashion, with designers creating bold and ultra-fashionable styles that push the boundaries of creativity. Featuring over 150 pairs of spectacular contemporary shoe designs, Shoe Obsession showcases the work of prominent designers such as Manolo Blahnik, Pierre Hardy, Christian Louboutin, and Bruno Frisoni for Roger Vivier, alongside avant-garde styles by up-and-coming designers like Kei Kagami and Noritaka Tatehana. The book examines recent extreme shoe styles in relation to the history of high heels, their role as a reflection of personality traits, and their significance in art and exhibitions. With its full-color photographs, Shoe Obsession is a must-have for anyone interested in fashion, design, or the cultural significance of shoes.
