Sexy made in Italy on show at the Museo del Traje of Madrid until 30th August. The Footwear Museum of Vigevano is the protagonist of a touring exhibition dedicated to stilettos, the real must for the women who wish to be sensual without giving up the good taste.

It is about “Tacones de aguja. Fascinación y seducción”, temporary exhibition taken care of by Pier Luigi Muggiati under the sponsorship of the Italian Institute of Culture.

Stilettos as real master-works created by the Italian craftmanship as well as by the big international maison, who wore stars of the fashion system, in so defining their own personality through this indispensable detail of femininity, authentic component of sensuality for writers, and real symbol of feminine aggressiveness for sociologists and semiologists.

Since the first, revolutionary model of the 1940s by Christain Dior, followed in the post-war period by Salvatore Ferragamo until the more recent Prada, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo, this range of stilettos is a great anthology of the works of art of the biggest fashion designers.

For the erotic game of the instep, of the slender ankle and of the hip-swing from a 8-10-12 centimetres height  – although the last collections reach until 20 cm height – Madrid welcomes 80 shoe-sculptures, real master-works of the made in Italy.
