Product Description
Product Description
Everything around us is designed and the word 'design' has become part of our everyday experience. But how much do we know about it? "Fifty Shoes That Changed the World" imparts that knowledge listing the top 50 shoe designs that have made a substantial impact in the world of design today. From the 1863 Frye boot to Zaha Hadid's 2008 Melissa shoe, each entry offers a short appraisal to explore what has made their iconic status and the designers that give them a special place in design history.
About the Author
The Design Museum's mission is to celebrate, entertain, and inform. It is the world's leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form from furniture to graphics, and architecture to industrial design. It is working to place design at the centre of contemporary culture. It demonstrates both the richness of the creativity to be found in all forms of design, and its importance. Design is a hugely fertile field of inventive new work, as well as a key component underpinning the modern economy. It provides a means for understanding the contemporary world, and, potentially, for making it a better place.

For all shoes fans. An incredible story of how shoes influence our lives. From not very pretty crocs to stunning jimmy choos. It seems to be a set of short stories for fashionistas as well as a great resource of fashion research. Can't wait to get other books from this series.

This book is part of a classic - must have - series and deals with its subject matter in a remarkable way. You can dip in and out with ease and still build up a clear picture of how design has changed something as fundamental as the shoe over the last 70 years or so.
