Repost from @museumatfit • It’s #ShoesdayTuesday These 1940s sandals resemble chopines, a style of platform shoe worn in Europe from the 14th to the mid-17th centuries. Bernard Rudofsky’s later work focused on creating functional “reform” shoes — a far cry from this exaggerated style that would have required its wearer to shuffle her feet. #ShoeExhibition You can see these shoes in “Shoes: Anatomy, Identity, Magic” thru December 31, 2022 i️ Link in Bio! #MuseumAtFIT #BernardRudofsky #ShoesExhibition #ShoeExhibitionMFIT @valerie_steele_fashion @colleen_hill_fashion Bernard Rudofsky for Dino Busso, maroon stacked leather platforms, c.1940, Brazil, gift of Mrs. Berta Rudofsky
