So, over the weekend, I checked out the Brooklyn Museum's Killer Heels Exhibit. The shoes were cool of course, though the space design sucked for cell phones. They had the lights below the shoes, messing up my camera's autoexposure, so all the photos came up a bit dark.
Here are my highlights. I tried to frame the caption with the shoes, otherwise I'll write down the caption info under the photo, if I have it.

Cool! I saw a cheap pair of knock offs of those tall Vivienne Westwood shoes like ten years ago, I thought about buying them but then realized how freakishly uncomfortable they must be.
ReplyDeleteall knockoffs are!
DeleteOooh I love this! Thanks for posting. Those are some interesting shoes
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Glad you like em
DeleteThose shoes are fantastic! Some are funny and some are elegant and some both at the same time. :D I too loved those 3D printed shoes, the one in your fourth pic is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI long for the day 3d printers will be commonplace
DeleteEhh, those Manchu shoes...^^ I love the furry boots and the black winged one, but Blade Heel 2010 is my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, for real, right?
Deletewah soo cool! I would have loved to go! 90s were an indeed good time for shoes.
ReplyDeleteYeah... Though today's throwbacks are also pretty cool
DeleteOh my, there are so many ugly shoes, and so many beautiful shoes! I didn't know people could get that creative about footwear! HAHAHA
ReplyDeleteMy personal favourite is the Stairway to Heaven, oh my, it's just so beautiful ♥
Some of them are awful... But some - beautiful. Since years I'm dreaming about United Nude shoes <3 These one with wings looks awesome, too!
