Women and shoes, diamonds, and purses. Who knows why, but they just all meld together into one luxury consuming organism. Women hoard shoes. I think it is like how guys hang animal heads on their walls. Shoes are the trophy mounted from the hunt. Wear them once and preserve them in a pile or neatly in a shoe room, shoes are a phenomenon among women that refuses to die down. Shown here are representative samples from top designers--fashion gurus like Christian Lacroix, Dior, Emporio Armani, Valentino, Kenzo and Emilio Pucci.
