As Fashion Week kicks off in New York, a "killer" shoe exhibit is underway at the Brooklyn Museum to celebrate the glory of the stiletto heel throughout the centuries.
Titled "Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe," the exhibit features 178 of the most outrageously crafted high heels that ever walked the earth.
Samples include Italian platforms from the 1600s and 19th century silk shoes from China, all the way to Dior slippers and the coveted red-bottomed Louboutins, the New York Daily News reported.
"It's all about the rise of the stiletto," Lisa Small, curator of exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum, told the newspaper.
"Killer Heels" will also feature six short films, including one from upscale shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti on the art of shoemaking.
The exhibit runs from Sept. 10 until Feb 15.
