Vintage view: Couture shoes

The eagle-eyed will notice that despite this being a discussion on the fetishistic intensity of vintage shoe collecting, the image of the shoe I’ve chosen, is simply, well...wrong.

Devotees of couture, shoes and HBOs greatest hit, will instantly recognise the Hagasi jewel satin pumps by Manola Blahnik, a gentrified perch slipped onto the somewhat gnarled feet of Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) by Big (Chris Noth) at the end of the movie Sex & the City (2008).
