This past week we headed to the Brooklyn Museum to see their latest exhibit, Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe. It includes designs from Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen, André Perugia, Prada, Elsa Schiaparelli and Vivienne Westwood—to name a few.
The best part of the collection is that it not only houses contemporary shoes, but also historical shoe designs from the sixteenth-century. Amazing, every girls dream! Did you see those rainbow platforms?
And of course, Christian Louboutin made a statement with the stiletto ballet shoe "Fetish ballerinas" and platform Mary Janes "Printz".
Some of the designs were straight from the catwalk, others had been used by artists like Lady Gaga. Shoes with crow wings? A bit too much, right?
Overall there were about 160 designs and each one was a piece of art. Some of the shoes were very elaborate and some simple and classic. It was a great exhibit and if you love shoes (as I do), this is definitely the exhibit for you!
If you're in NY, don't miss this exhibit, it runs until February 15!
Thanks for joining me!
