Kick Up Your Heels: The Fine Art of Shoes

The humble shoe, one of the most basic items of human clothing, has been the focus of some of the most outrageous fashion ideas. Inspired by the exhibition Killer Heels: The Art of the High Heeled Shoe from the Brooklyn Museum, Kick up Your Heels celebrates the unique design elements in contemporary women’s shoes. The exhibition will feature shoes from Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Stuart Weitzman, Diane von Furstenberg, Christian Dior, Prada, Nicholas Kirkwood, Walter Steiger, and Sonia Rykiel among others, presented as art objects and highlighting the design elements that make them unique.
