So this weekend I urge shoe enthusiasts to check out the Shoes:Pleasure and Pain exhibition at the V&A.
We are a nation obsessed with heels, wedges, flats, trainers and sandals, so it was about time that there was a major exhibition celebrating our passion and the pain we endure to look fabulous in them.
With over 200 pairs of shoes on display, you'll be taken on a journey through time to explore how culture impacted and inspired footwear through the centuries. From Ancient Egyptian gold leaf decorated sandals to sophisticated and stylish red soled Louboutins, this collection will certainly drive shoe lovers mad with jealousy.
I'm due to visit this wonderful collection soon. I may end up setting up camp and living there for the summer.
Shoes: Pleasure and Pain at the V&A
Extras: Sadly you can't take home a pair of the shoes, but shoe designer Bruno Frisoni will be hosting an evening talk at the museum to discuss his inspirational career. The talk takes place on Tuesday 15th September 18:30 - 19:30. For more information visit the V&A website.
Cost:£12
