Beautiful Shoe ...


At the moment, I am currently doing a research project on the History of English and French Interior styles from the 17th century to later 20th century.

I couldn't help but marvel at the ornate heel on Alexander McQueen's breathtaking golden platform, with references to the master woodcarver Grinling Gibbons (from the 17th c Baroque period, who turned Hampton Court Palace into a national treasure)
Absolutely stunning!

  1. This shoe is simply amazing! If I owned it I don't think I'd ever wear it.
