\nThe Ultralounge in Selfridges London is currently hosting a retrospective of the work of one of the most iconic British designer, Vivienne Westwood. Shoes, more\u00a0specifically, are under the spotlights, and the exhibition is covering not less than five decades of flamboyant creations.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“Shoes must have very high heels and platforms to put women’s beauty on a pedestal”<\/em>, once said the designer, and she has been since then determined to make these pedestals genuine works of art, as well as to put women’s beauty higher and higher – to the point where the simple act of walking becomes an adventure in itself. I think no one has forgotten how Naomi Campbell\u00a0fell over on the catwalk back in the nineties, while working a pair of\u00a0nine-inch-heeled shoes, the famous Super Elevated Gillie platforms\u00a0(which are, by the way, on display).<\/p>\n

Nearly 200 shoes, from iconic pieces like the pirate boots to the most recent creations,\u00a0including men’s models, are displayed at the Ultralounge until 22nd September. Vivienne Westwood’s shoes are fascinating not only because they are most of the time incredibly beautiful, with colours and patterns to die for, but also because they are telling a story. The\u00a0designer\u00a0has been highly influenced by history, and more specifically by British heritage, from Victorian dandies to pirates, and each model is like a time travel – through a funky machine… Enjoy the ride!<\/p>\n
