Description

From the surprisingly sexy boots hiding under Victorian crinolines to the glittering T-strap heels worn by flappers dancing the Charleston, a woman’s shoe choice has long been far more than a mundane practicality. Join Shoes author Raissa Bretaña for an overview of 400 years of fabulous footwear from the 17th century to the present, including many of today’s top designers such as Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin, Roger Vivier, and Nicholas Kirkwood. Raissa Bretaña is a New York–based fashion historian and adjunct instructor at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She consults on period film productions and hosts a popular YouTube series for Glamour. Books will be available for purchase. Fabulous footwear is highly encouraged.
