A Natural Next Step
As the second title in our collaborative series with Assouline, The Book of Iconic Shoes brings you the 25 greatest shoes of all time. Curated by FASHIONPHILE and written by Dylan Kelly, this definitive glossary highlights the designs that redefined footwear.
Walk with Dylan Kelly
Who better to tell the stories behind fashion’s most iconic footwear than Dylan Kelly? You might know him from Walk With Me, the viral series blending fashion history with raw cultural commentary (and a guest list that includes A$AP Rocky, Charli XCX, and Anne Hathaway). As a former Senior Editor at Hypebeast and graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, Dylan brings a sharp eye and a fresh voice to The Book of Iconic Shoes.
The Stories Behind the Silhouettes
Step inside as we spotlight the shoes that stood the test of time. Think Carrie Bradshaw’s Manolo Blahnik Hangisis, Louboutin’s red-bottom So Kates, Margiela’s subversive split-toe Tabis, Chanel Ballerina Flats, and more.
Shoes on the Table
A luxury coffee-table compendium, The Book of Iconic Shoes is a must-have and a must-read for shoe and book lovers alike. (We know these shoes would have a place in your closet too.)
The Sole of an Icon
Every day, we slip on a new shoe or reach for an old favorite. So what makes these 25 so iconic? Well, we chose them for their emotional, cultural, and collectible value, backed by decades of FASHIONPHILE data.
