The role of the Archive
These records document how the footwear has been used beyond a conventional product photograph. Catwalk film, editorial imagery and photographs of the shoes being worn show how reflective and patterned surfaces behave under different light and in motion.
The wider Archive brings this material together without implying that every historical design remains available to purchase.
