The history of American footwear is not only a history of fashion. It is also a history of consumption, celebrity, and the ebb and flow of American industry. Stuart Weitzman is best known for his elegant and innovative shoe designs, employing rare materials and unexpected constructions. Weitzman’s passion for footwear extended to collecting exceptional historic examples. The exhibition Walk This Way: Footwear from the Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes highlights examples from the Weitzman Shoe Museum at The New York Historical.
