A. van Goethem made this pair of evening shoes, and I think the designer was thinking about a night out, dancing, and elegance. The straps, arranged in a crisscross pattern, remind me of musical notation, or a dancer's graceful movements on stage. The shoes are like sculptures, solid yet light. You can see the history of fashion reflected in the subtle changes to the shape, the delicate buckle, and the smooth lines. The black colour reminds me of a film noir movie, full of mystery and excitement. Maybe the maker had similar ideas, or maybe they were just creating something practical. As an artist, I love when someone makes something that has both usefulness and a little bit of magic.
Comments
For evening events women wore slingback-style shoes. They were often covered with fabric rather than leather. This pair of shoes completed an ensemble consisting of a cocktail dress with a tie belt and a large folding fan. The delicate straps once tore out at the instep. Because textile is easier to sew back together than leather, only the upper layer, made of silk fabric, was repaired.
