Here's a treat for the shoe fiends amongst you .... whilst in Lincoln last month we called in at The Hub, the National Centre for Craft & Design in Sleaford to see 'A Personal collection of Vivienne Westwood Shoes'
Here are pics of some of the exhibits - I loved the ones with toe shaped fronts:
together with some from the publicity available:

Aren't they fabulous!! I love the pink books and the green platforms.
Oh that I had the legs to go with them - but my favourite shoes of the
whole exhibit will be on my tinkeringbythesea.blogspot tomorrow
- I simply fell in love with them and I could actually wear them too!
Love to All, xxDi
Well how spooky - was only there last weekend! My friend and I went for a pootle on Sunday to Lincoln - and we happened upon the shoe exhibition by pure chance! It was a real unexpected treat on such a gorgeous day out. One day perhaps we may bump into each other - I live in Norwich - if you're ever over this way do get in touch - it would be nice to meet another Pantry Violet. And yes, I wish I had the legs (and body) to go with the shoes too!
ReplyDeleteI go for the "top right" ones - they look like papier-mache and comfy!
ReplyDeleteWhat great fun, Di - Can't wait to see tomorrow's post (!)
...and thanks so much for the delightful snail........love it !!!!!!
