Museum Exhibits the Most Extreme Shoes in the World (Photos)

Shoes worn by Queen Victoria, printed in 3D technology, or designed by architect Zaha Hadid are among 200 pairs from all over the world displayed in the exhibition Shoes: Pleasure and Pain, opening on June 13 at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. “The V&A has the best, the most extreme, and most fashionable footwear, so it was their story that drove the process and the themes,” said Helen Persson, curator of the exhibition. Here are highlights.
