Fusing exquisite design with engineering, shoe design is quite unlike
any other fashion discipline. Feted in fashion magazines and on
television, shoes have become more coveted, more collectible and more
expensive in recent years, and contemporary footwear design is now one
of the most important and interesting areas of the fashion industry.
Showcasing some of the most exciting and innovative contemporary
footwear designers from across the globe, this book reflects the rich
and diverse range of cutting-edge design.
Using specially commissioned
photography, never before published sketches, and original design
material, New Shoes brings together a rich mix of desirable shoes,
sandals and boots to illustrate the unique blend of design skill and
craftsmanship that footwear design demands.
