'Rolfe explores the fascinating link between heels and both physical and psychological power. Divided into four shoe categories and accompanied by archival images from the pages of British Vogue, the book provides a charming documentation of what is arguably fashion's most powerful accessory - from sleek Chanel sling-backs to brazen creations by Balenciaga.' British Vogue *** 'You can never take too much care over the choice of your shoes. Too many women think that they are unimportant, but the but the real proof of an elegant woman is what is on her feet.' Christian Dior There is an indefinable magic, mystique and fascination about high-heeled shoes that passes all understanding or logic. How can you explain that the simple act of pointing your toes and gently slipping them into a pair of towering heels can be such a powerful experience physically, psychologically and emotionally? As British Vogue has charted over the last hundred years, by stepping into a pair of heels, a woman's personality is instantly transformed. Divided into the categories of Fancy Footwork, Enduring Classics, Step Up and Rainbow Heels, British Vogue 's archive of fashion photos has been plundered to showcase the most beautiful, memorable, rule-breaking and trend-setting heels to be photographed in its 100-year history. Review: Great gift idea! - Bought as a gift for a good friend who is shoe mad! She loved it. Review: Smaller than I thought it would be, - This lovely book looked much bigger in the product image so I was surprised when it arrived to find it's quite small. It's actually 22 cm high by 17 cm wide. I have provided an image of the book with my hand on it so you can see its size. Anyway, the images in side are printed well and are a mixture of colour and black and white. I haven't read it yet as it's a present for my partner who is shoe and heels crazy so it's about to be wrapped and hidden away. I am very pleased with it despite it beiing smaller than I thought it would be.

Head Over Heels!
Great intro! Fantastic images but it is a shrunken version of something larger. For a coffee table maybe. Still the pictures are great. For essentials. Or should I say essential for fashion and shoe viewers.
