There’s a shoe exhibition going on in London at the moment, from 4th-8th November to be precise. It’s called ‘Shoes For Show: The Sculptural Art of High Heels‘. Particularly for Phlegmmy‘s and Dustbury‘s enjoyment, here are some of the shoes on display.

The ‘I Am Not A Celebrity’ blog has many more images of the shoes in the exhibition. They’re weirdly fascinating. I’m guessing few, if any, are designed to be worn in real life (or not more than once, at any rate!). Still, they definitely show creativity and artistic flair. In fact, I’d consider them all to be better and more interesting works of art than the Martin Kippenberger piece we looked at yesterday!
