It explores the culture of the city at the end of the 19th century, an era marked by success and lavish lifestyles. The exhibition features jewelry, costumes and decorative objects set in a beautiful display. We even found some shoes!<br />
From their website:<br />
<br />
<h2 class="page-blurb" style="font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 34px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Explore the visual culture of elite New York in the late-19th and early- 20th centuries.</h2>
<div style="color: #616161; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 27px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Inaugurating the Museum’s Tiffany & Co. Foundation Gallery, <em>Gilded New York</em> explores the city’s visual culture at the end of the 19th century, when its elite class flaunted their money as never before. In New York, this era was marked by the sudden rise of industrial and corporate wealth, amassed by such titans as Cornelius Vanderbilt and Jay Gould, who expressed their high status through extravagant fashions, architecture, and interior design. The exhibition presents a lavish display of some 100 works, including costumes, jewelry, portraits, and decorative objects, all created between the mid-1870s and the early 20th century. The dazzling works in the exhibition will illuminate an era when members of the new American aristocracy often displayed their wealth in storied balls in Fifth Avenue mansions and hotels. It was a time when New York became the nation’s corporate headquarters and a popular Ladies’ Mile of luxury retail establishments and cultural institutions helped launch the city to global prominence.</div>

When Peter Fox started doing shoes in 1982 it was the Reagan Era, Dynasty was a top TV show and women were power dressing. Excess was in and shoulders were large. This also applied to wedding styles, dresses had so many "over the top" details. Big shoulders, "Leg of mutton" sleeves, lots of lace and big wreath-like headpieces. Brides wore white stockings often in lace patterns and shoes were much heavier and heels were lower. The most famous bride of the decade, Princess Diana, epitomized this style with her huge ruffled dress and long train.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from our archives, the first three feature earlier Peter Fox Shoes, the rest are just fun to look at.<br />

Their current<br />
exhibit is wonderfully titled "The Roaring Twenties: Heels, Hemlines and High Spirits"<br />
<br />
It featured beautiful flapper dresses, bejeweled heels and interesting stories from that era.<br />
One interesting style of shoe that really stood out was this "Swimming Shoe"<br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 13px;">The 1920s saw increasing numbers of women participating and excelling at sports. The sporting accomplishments of women, such as Suzanne Lenglen’s stunning tennis game and Gertrude Ederle’s record breaking swim across the English Channel were celebrated and inspired many women to take up a sport. Each sport required its own specialized footwear including swimming. This pair of red rubber, “silver wing” bathing shoes would have been worn by a swimmer in pursuit of both fashion and fun at the end of the 20s.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 13px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 13px;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><!--StartFragment--> </div><div class="MsoNormal">We hear the term “Mary-Jane shoe” often…but what is it exactly and where did the name come from?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">According to Wikipedia:<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.0pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">“Mary Jane is an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English"><span style="color: #1230a1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">American</span></a> term (formerly trademarked) for a kind of strap <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe"><span style="color: #1230a1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">shoe</span></a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandal_(footwear)"><span style="color: #1230a1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">sandal</span></a> that typically has low heels, broad and rounded closed toes, and a single-buckle strap across the instep and/or around the ankle. They are traditionally made of black <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_leather"><span style="color: #1230a1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">patent leather</span></a>, although some current incarnations can be in a wide array of colors and leathers.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Mary Jane was a character created by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Outcault"><span style="color: #1230a1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Richard Outcault</span></a> for his comic strip, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Brown"><span style="color: #1230a1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Buster Brown</span></a>, which was first published in 1902. She was the sister of the title character, Buster Brown.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">In 1904, Outcault traveled to the St. Louis World's Fair and sold licenses to up to 200 companies to use the Buster Brown characters to advertise their products. Among them was the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Shoe_Company"><span style="color: #1230a1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Brown Shoe Company</span></a>, who later hired actors to tour the country, performing as the Buster Brown characters in theaters and stores. This strategy helped the Brown Shoe Company become the most prominently associated brand with the Buster Brown characters. The style of shoe both Buster Brown and Mary Jane wore came to be known by her name, Mary Jane.”<o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText">At Peter Fox Shoes we design many of our shoes with Mary-Jane straps. Besides providing comfort and security, this style is an attractive method of solving a lot of fit issues. For example, if a woman has a wider foot with narrower heel, it will keep the foot from lifting out of the shoe. If a woman has a low arch, it will keep the shoes from gaping in the middle of the foot.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText">Mary-Jane’s are also wonderful for Brides. They provide security for outdoor weddings where the ground can often be uneven. They are also perfect for dancing since you don’t have to worry about your shoes coming off. (Especially if trying to navigate a dress with a big train or skirt).<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><br />
</div><div class="MsoBodyText">The Mary-Jane style is a classic…we don’t think it will ever go out of style.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoBodyText"><br />

It was a simple one-shouldered black dress with a "tea length" hem with very high red satin shoes and a matching evening bag.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">We have been offering size 11 and 11 1/2 shoes for many years and have now added size 12 to our size range.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc4HVJViE8QISMWfB5pq3GY4WvHIw5nBJMmGKHxzmke6HsqdiSbp8se_h3uqsXulbtOz_ZwMn_YOpGgS2AjRSn08Bk7TFdYbGoLXnCOxjk2tcPk-mZWVFToiwS5w4g7ImAhNd_X8IZFdo/s1600/Shoes+26-10+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc4HVJViE8QISMWfB5pq3GY4WvHIw5nBJMmGKHxzmke6HsqdiSbp8se_h3uqsXulbtOz_ZwMn_YOpGgS2AjRSn08Bk7TFdYbGoLXnCOxjk2tcPk-mZWVFToiwS5w4g7ImAhNd_X8IZFdo/s200/Shoes+26-10+003.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal">A majority of companies only go to size 10, leaving many women with not much choice in their shoe shopping. We have had numerous customer requests over the years and have worked with our factory in Italy to create size 11 1/2 and 12 “lasts” that will still look proportional. This means that the proportions of a size 7 shoe and a size 12 style will look the same. (Instead of the shoe just being made longer).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

It is usually more expensive than suede, and is dyed to cover up the sanding and stamping process.

The heels can be high or low, but usually it has a closed heel-back and toe. Some shoe manufacturers will even include a hidden elastic inside the heel back which will help the shoe stay on the foot, especially for women with narrow heels. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB3_W2hKWdI8_Iz9JbMWui28KUSVhzdYUfU5pW6rVU7gg5iZ288NK7u611JOlns-dd7FdUU_0RT-z7AOW_jCTZcXbzlEqHuUvoUAJeBTXQgG7TT7JWvR16wA_P6HzMEfQqdbJzraFV7Ig/s1600/IMG_3215.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB3_W2hKWdI8_Iz9JbMWui28KUSVhzdYUfU5pW6rVU7gg5iZ288NK7u611JOlns-dd7FdUU_0RT-z7AOW_jCTZcXbzlEqHuUvoUAJeBTXQgG7TT7JWvR16wA_P6HzMEfQqdbJzraFV7Ig/s320/IMG_3215.JPG" width="320" /></a> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">It is widely thought that this shoe style is named after the French noble artist, painter and sculptor Count D’orsay in the 19<sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">th</span></sup> century. He was known for his charm and style in both fashion and art. At this time both men and women wore pump style shoes that often didn’t fit and gaped on the sides. Being a style-setter and all around fashion dandy, he had the idea to cut out the sides of the shoes so that they would fit better.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Arial;">Today the D’orsay shoe is considered a classic style that is both flattering and elegant. Leaving the arch of the foot exposed and often giving a peek of “toe cleavage”, it is also thought of as a very sexy shoe style, especially in a high heel. This style flatters most feet and elongates the leg for short skirts and eveningwear and even Bridal shoes.</span>Peter Fox Shoeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00074197396495935865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325400739120314143.post-63038784235799339342011-04-06T17:40:00.002-04:002011-04-06T18:02:03.782-04:00Wedding Shoe TraditionsThere are so many interesting Wedding traditions around the world, and many of them involve shoes!<br />
From the website "All About Shoes":<br />

The origins of this practice have been obscured through time. More than 100 years ago, it was traditional in the West to hurl shoes at the departing couple. The throwing of shoes may have initially been a form of protest that a bride was being taken away. Over time, the tradition may have been modified to the tying of the shoes to the bumper.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.3;"><br />

Five of our favorites are:<br />
<br />
<u>Vintage Touches</u><br />
This includes beautiful textures, ornate details, natural settings and vintage inspired photos.<br />
<br />
<u>Eco-Friendly Weddings</u><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULPWOuX_HkCwjKxHIe8Vmsao_h9WXB0D5sijukHSLuZa3wMrHxSXW1UwQNsC2bR1eFWdArum5oWChWh4qacgg5Z3kt6NfAHLa1t62Jxl1cw1uW2fwNTHsScHOn31c4nMLo5j8FUzY3LM/s1600/IMG_0719.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULPWOuX_HkCwjKxHIe8Vmsao_h9WXB0D5sijukHSLuZa3wMrHxSXW1UwQNsC2bR1eFWdArum5oWChWh4qacgg5Z3kt6NfAHLa1t62Jxl1cw1uW2fwNTHsScHOn31c4nMLo5j8FUzY3LM/s200/IMG_0719.JPG" width="157" /></a></div>Recycled paper invitations, food from local farmers and sources, and charity donations.<br />
<br />
<u>Modern Choices</u><br />
Brides are opting for non-traditional choices in dresses, colors, decor and locations.<br />
<br />
<u>DIY Weddings</u><br />
"Do it Yourself" is a big trend, this creates something special with personalized touches.<br />
<br />
<u>Social Media Influence</u><br />
Facebook and Twitter will continue to be a big part of the wedding process, keeping guests informed and updated.<br />
<br />
The vintage trend is of course our favorite (which we think Peter Fox Shoes are perfect for). But we also love the movement towards individuality, being able to express our diverse tastes and styles.<br />
