Lecture - “The Dramatic Shoe”: Fashionable Footwear in American Vogue, 1952-1962

From brocade opera pumps to satin strappy sandals, chandelier-heeled evening shoes to increasingly spindly stilettos, shoes in midcentury Vogue are a delight for the eyes and the feet! Even beyond the shoes themselves, the graphic design and layouts of footwear features in Daves’s Vogue, created by legendary Art Director, Alexander Liberman, provide a wealth of visual excitement.

Please join the Bata Shoe Museum in welcoming fashion historian and author, Rebecca C. Tuite, to present a lecture on fashionable footwear and accessories in American Vogue under the editorship of Jessica Daves. The talk will be based on her new book, 1950s in Vogue: The Jessica Daves Years, 1952-1962.
