Funny ? Check out For More Collections After The Cut..
Whenever I see a period movie on television or at the theatre, I am always impressed with the meticulous and historically accurate work that goes into creating the set and costumes. Costume and set designers go to great lengths to be historically accurate.
I was very impressed with the creativity and design of shoes from centuries ago. Most of the shoes you see in this post are English, and can be found at the Victoria and Albert Museum online collections site.
While I can imagine that the earliest shoes of ancient, everyday people to be mostly functional and utilitarian, I guess it is fair to say that the most beautifully crafted shoes — the ones with the most decorative appeal — were made for the (dare I say it?) well-heeled of society. That rings true today I guess, as some things never seem to change.
