According to Dr. Valerie Steele, the director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT and the author of Shoes: A Lexicon of Style (among many other fashion books), the fixation dates back to Cinderella and her glass slippers. But that doesn’t necessarily explain women’s willingness to defy death, gravity, and blisters with the super-stacked platforms and needle-thin spikes of modern day. Shoe Obsession, The Museum at FIT’s upcoming exhibition (which, running from February 8 through April 13, was […]

If you haven’t already heard of this Croatia-based brand, that’s because until recently it has kept a relatively low profile. Founded in 2004 by Mauro Massarotto – previously the creative director of Ellesse Heritage – and Mark Vassallo, the brand’s inception came about when the men discovered an old optical factory in Croatia that, founded in 1948, was still manufacturing opticals for the local residents. Seduced by their old-school appeal and vintage charm, they went about customising the prototype, working […]

Indeed, Pleated Project, her latest collection of pleated grosgrain and felt headpieces, stems from classic references (like circle hats and papal miters), but the result is hardly traditional.
