There are nearly 1300 pairs of shoes in the Fashion Museum collection, from a pair of red velvet embroidered mules dating to about 1700 to a pair of flat brown distressed leather brogues from 2004 by Japanese designer Junya Wattanabe.
These shoes are both from the 1950s. The gold sandal is by Fortnum and Mason and the extraordinary ‘heel-less’ black suede shoe by an unknown Italian designer. These are hardly warn, which comes as no surprise really.
Other shoe names in the collection include Hellstern, N Greco, Ferragamo, Chelsea Cobbler, Oliver Sweeney, Emma Hope, Patrick Cox and Manolo Blahnik.
A selection of shoes from the collection is on display in the Fashion Museum galleries.
