Rhonda - See all my reviews

This review is from: Platform Shoes: A Big Step in Fashion (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Paperback)

Absolutely fantastic book! Perfect for the platform shoe lover - especially me! Features the author's collection of platform shoes - including non-wearable novelties - leaving you wanting to own every pair on the pages! Divided into 8 chapters including "Novelties", "Sling backs" and my favourite - "Ankle straps". There are shoes with sculpted heels, beaded uppers, springs, wheels and every kind of fabric available. Also shown are the rare and hard to find products with pictures of platform shoes printed on such as record covers and even a jacket. Brilliant pictures, little text, not very informative but a good read all the same.
