A Day in The Life: Brooklyn Museum Killer Heels Exhibit @brooklynmuseum #KillerHeels

Glamazons,

One thing I love about New York City is that you are only a subway ride away from some pretty incredible experiences, whether a Broadway play, a ballet or a museum exhibit. I headed to Brooklyn for the latter on Saturday: the Killer Heels exhibit at Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Parkway). You know it had to be good for me to go below 14th street on the weekend! But then again, how could a day looking at gorgeous shoes spanning four centuries be anything less than glamazing?

Curated by Brooklyn Museum’s Lisa Small and sponsored by Nordstrom and W Magazine, the “Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe” exhibit includes 160 pairs of shoes spanning four centuries as well as six short films by artists including Nick Knight, Steven Klein and Zach Gold. For anyone who loves shoes and history (two of my favorite things!), the exhibit is an absolute must-see.

You can check out the Killer Heels exhibit from now until February 15, 2014. It’s open Wednesday through Sunday 11AM-6PM (with extended hours on Thursday until 10PM).

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the beautiful shoes on display:

Fendi heels, 2003

Georgina Goodman “Lena The Love shoe,” Summer 2011

Manchu Womans shoes, Qing Dynasty Chinese, 19th Century

Zaha Hadid x United Nude ‘Nova’ shoe wedge

Christian Dior, Fall 2013

Geta wood thong sandals, Japanese, first half of 20th century

Miu Miu ‘Cammeo’ Baroque Leather Wedge, Fall 2006

Winde Rienstra Bamboo heels, 2012

Alexander McQueen lace-up peeptoe boots, Spring/Summer 2013

Christian Louboutin Fetish Ballerines, 2007

A shoe lover’s dream!

I recommend going early so you can take your time making your way through the exhibit. You need adequate time to survey the shoes and watch the short films.

My friend, Crystal of Crystal Says, and I came pretty late on Saturday so we had to rush through and only got to see half of it! Also, the exhibit is pretty dimly lit and can get crowded so the more time you have to spend there, the better. We plan to go back and spend more time at the exhibit next weekend.

Kisses,
