NYC - Killer Heels Exhibition

Whilst in New York, we visited the Brooklyn Museum where a new exhibition called 'Killer Heels' was being shown. It explored fashion's most provocative accessory. As a fashion statement, fetish object, instrument of power and as an outlet of artistic expression, this exhibition looked at the shoes' rich history and its place amongst popular imagination.

I saw some of the most ridiculous, unbearably painful heels that could only be thought of as shock value than any desired accessory, yet the history of high heels is so varied and it's astonishing the timeline of how they have developed and were they are today.

The exhibition also saw many creative fashion films, some extraordinarily bizarre that made it very 'fashion'. This one in particular ('Spike') was by Zach Gold, it was the first thing you saw when beginning the exhibition, and it immediately grabs your attention with the vibrant colours and photography. Clearly an amazing talent, I plan to do more research on this artists work to see more of his portfolio.
