Boots: The Height of Fashion
March 5, 2013 - April 6, 2013
Boots: The Height of Fashion examined how boots emerged as a modern fashion phenomenon during the last century and evolved to become a staple of the fashionable woman's wardrobe. The exhibition featured 20 pairs of women's boots from the museum's permanent collection, including boots originally worn by fashion icons Jane Holzer and Tina Chow. Boots, as objects, are expressive of power, and the exhibition explored this concept via three significant sub-themes: sex, rebellion, and status.
