Description: "Shoes fascinate women of all ages and have the power to crystallize a moment in fashion. In Vogue: The Shoe, Harriet Quick has curated more than 300 fabulous images from a century of British Vogue, featuring remarkable styles that range from the humble clog to exquisite hand-embroidered haute couture stilettoes via fetishistic cuissardes and outrageous statement heels. The images are grouped into five thematic chapters devoted to dazzling Cinderella heels; Town & Country classics; Cult Style inspiration; the escapism of Summer Dreaming and the fantasia of Extreme Heels. The images include pivotal work from Hoyningen-Huene, Irving Penn, Corinne Day, Norman Parkinson, Mario Testino and Nick Knight. Vogue is one of the world's most successful - and enduring - luxury brands. British Vogue 's library of a million peerless pictures is celebrated in a new range of books that encapsulate the beauty, elegance and high production values of the brand. The Vogue portfolio series will become the definitive books on the subject, each volume providing a wealth of fabulous images accompanied by incisive commentaries from a team of excellent Vogue writers."--Wheelers.co.nz.
