Sky-high, ornate, and the pinnacle of glamour, both restrictive and liberating, art object and deeply ordinary, shoes tell the story of shifting attitudes toward desire, power, and wealth throughout history. Lace up for a journey through the most enviable shoe closet from the permanent collection at The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology―and four centuries of fashion’s hardest working accessory.
Featuring designs from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Chanel, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Roger Vivier, Christian Louboutin, and more, Shoes A–Z. The Collection of The Museum at FIT celebrates fashion’s most revolutionary and coveted labels with more than 400 styles selected from the Museum’s pristinely preserved collection. Texts from Daphne Guinness, Valerie Steele, Colleen Hill, and The Museum’s expert team of curators explore the unique legacy of each of the featured designers and the lasting cultural impact of the shoe. Also featured are custom portraits of the designers by illustrator Robert Nippoldt. Exclusive access to original sketches, advertisements, and photographs from the designers’ private archives further illuminate the genius behind the functional, sculptural delights we cannot live without.
Also available as Collector’s Edition of 1,000 numbered copies, including three prints by Manolo Blahník created exclusively for this edition with a hallmark stamp. The 6/8 color drawings are printed on 100% cotton paper, by famed Italian company Fabriano, and are housed in a luxury portfolio with gold foil embossing and with a ribbon closure.

Store description
Anbieter des artbook-service ist die Frölich & Kaufmann Verlag und Versand GmbH Wenn vom »Katalog der Kataloge« die Rede ist, dann denken Kunstliebhaber nicht an einen der unzähligen Werbe-Superlative, sondern an den 1978 gegründeten FRÖLICH & KAUFMANN Versand in Berlin. Dass der Firmenname kein Werbetrick ist, weiß man spätestens, wenn man den kleinen kompakten Katalog der Kataloge in den Händen hält: mit zahlreichen Tipps und Trends aus der Kunstbuchszene. Über 60.000 verschiedene Kunstbücher halten wir für Sie bereit. Ob Malerei oder Design, Fotografie oder Archäologie, es gibt kaum einen Wunsch, den wir nicht erfüllen können. Fast unbemerkt von der Kunstszene und nur den Kunden von FRÖLICH & KAUFMANN bekannt, bieten wir auch Grafiken, Vorzugsausgaben, Reprints und hochwertige Drucke an. In dem auch mit Sonderangeboten prall gefüllten Katalog, findet man u.a. einen signierten Druck des zur Neuen Sachlichkeit zählenden Christian Schad, Radierungen vom enfant terrible der Kunstszene Alfred Hrdlicka, Lithographien von Anne Hauser und Niki de Saint Phalle, zahlreiche hochwertige signierte Drucke von Christo, preiswerte signierte Plakate und, und, und. Schon das Blättern in dem kleinen Grafik-Katalog ist eine Augenweide. Für alle, die sich oder anderen etwas Kunstgenuss gönnen wollen: den Grafik-Katalog und natürlich auch den Katalog der Kataloge, kann man kostenlos und unverbindlich anfordern. Die hintere Umschlagseite des Versandkatalogs von FRÖLICH & KAUFMANN zieren seit mehr als 40 Jahren regelmäßig je zwei Herren oder auch Knaben. Am Anfang waren es Abbildungen von Doppelporträts aus Kunstbüchern von mehr oder weniger bekannten Fotografen. Die Rückseiten wurden schnell zu beliebten Sammelobjekten unserer Kunden. Heute sind es ausschließlich Doppelporträts, die das Unternehmen von dankbaren Kunden zugesandt bekommt, die dafür mit einem kleinen Kunstbuchpaket belohnt werden.…
