{"product_id":"fashionphile-the-book-of-iconic-shoes","title":"Fashionphile: The Book of Iconic Shoes","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart of Assouline’s Classics Collection of highly collectible and immaculately illustrated volumes representing movements in style and chronicling chic. Each book is an inspiring journey to aesthetic bliss, a unique world all its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf bags are what you carry through life, shoes are what carry you through it. There is a particular kind of ceremony that begins at one’s feet each day: the deliberate act of choosing a pair of shoes, which can quite visibly change the way you appear. Shoes, in these moments, are never background characters. They are objects that accumulate purpose through wear, and what they have in common is cultural permanence. Carefully curated by FASHIONPHILE, the ultra-luxury re-commerce platform specializing in the buying and selling of pre-owned designer handbags and accessories, The Book of Iconic Shoes gathers twenty-five shoes that have left a trail of defining stories, legacies, and blueprints worth celebrating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by notable fashion editor and digital storyteller Dylan Kelly, the volume explores the exquisite craftsmanship, cultural significance, and investment value behind the world’s most coveted silhouettes. From Carrie Bradshaw’s beloved Manolo Blahnik Hangisis to catwalk-owning Prada Monoliths and red-bottom Louboutin So Kates, each silhouette has a story, which is told here through a Technicolor curation of designer sketches, campaigns, street style, and brand archives, coupled with exclusive insights from the experts at FASHIONPHILE. Much like the footwear featured within its pages, The Book of Iconic Shoes is itself designed to be a collectible, preserved, and treasured piece of fashion history, inviting fans of sky-high heels, cult sneakers, and handmade loafers to discover why the right pair (and book) is sometimes all you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Brand\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssouline Publishing was founded as a family company in 1994 by Proper and Martine Assouline.
