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.
