Yes! Shoes!!!

                Yes! Shoes!!!

The Northampton museum of art and gallery is definitely a place to visit especially for the shoe fanatics. The showroom has a large large number of shoes for both sexes from each decade and its designer. The collection of shoes is over 10,000 to be precise 12,000. 
From the lot, the heel less shoe was the one that caught my eyes. Also known as the Lady Gaga's shoe today.


These heel less shoes has been around for some time now. Andre Perugia is said to be the founder  of these shoes.He made shoes for a famous designer known as Paul Poiret.


Perugia first experiment of these type of shoes was in 1937, it is an eye catcher. The shoe creates an illusion that the wearer is suspended in the mid air. The heel less shoe is also known as Trompe L'Oeil  or fool the eye shoes. A book he wrote "From Eve to Rita Hayworth" in which he said that the way to unveil a woman's personality was to study her feet. How amazing it is for a lady to walk in these shoes. This shoes tells you that fashion never fades it keeps coming back. Your feet does the talking on the runway and on the streets with these pair of shoes. 

The shoe tour was an amazing experience for me since I am a lover of shoes I did enjoy the tour and would recommend it to everyone just to have the experience of visiting the museum to view all the shoes from all over the world. You will never regret this experience.
