The World at Your Feet: Bata Shoe Museum

內容簡介

內容簡介 開設在加拿大多倫多的「巴塔鞋博物館」，是當今世界上規模最大的鞋子博物館，館藏的古今多種類、多品牌經典鞋款，為數可觀、替世人珍藏見證了許多重要的鞋履穿著及潮流時尚記憶。此書收錄博物館中精選100雙具有劃時代形象的鞋履，用鞋來回顧人類文明、窺看各時代獨領風騷的美學設計品味。 A celebration of life, love, and loss through the shoes we have worn, as seen in the extraordinary Bata Shoe Museum collection. The Bata Shoe Museum, the largest shoe collection in the world, celebrates fabulous footwear across the ages in beautifully curated displays, exhibiting styles from tiny Chinese bound-foot shoes to French chestnut-crushing clogs and Elton John's over-the-top silver platform boots. The collection has become a source of inspiration for designers, including Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Nicholas Kirkwood, and Sophia Webster, among others. Many of the shoes are as relevant today as when they were created: anyone who has worn flip-flops will recognize ancient Egyptian sandals, and men's thigh-high boots from seventeenth-century France are virtually identical to those worn by women today. High-fashion styles by famed designers such as Ferragamo and Vivienne Westwood are always a draw, but one of the collection's most popular features is its celebrity footwear, including Queen Victoria's ballroom slippers, Elvis Presley's blue patent loafers, and John Lennon's Beatle boot. The 100 iconic shoes featured in the volume tell the story of humanity, revealing ways of life and entire civilizations through its shoes.
