New dead stock vintage 50s 60s Joseph LaRose gun metal grey metallic pump stiletto shoes, never worn“Imagine a shoe that looked like apiece of wearable art – one that could easily pass in a museum for itsintricate designs. Joseph LaRose turned this fantasy in to reality.”
“LaRose spent nearly half of a century creating one-of-a-kind shoes soughtafter by thousands. Even after his death of cancer in December 1999, hislegacy presently lives on in shoe collector’s closets around the globe.”
This listing is for a beautiful pairof gun metal grey leather stilettos with a sexy, delicate 3 1/3 inch heel. they have a fantastic fabric stitching detail with a bow at the top of the foot. The left shoe will need its bow reattached. Theyhave never been worn and are in sturdy condition. I would say they are from the50s or early 60s. They are marked 8M. I am a 7 ½ with a fairly slender foot,and I would guess these might fit a 6 ½ N. But these are just for display, no?
In early 2000, I was invited by myfashion author friend to fly to Jacksonville with her for a day. She hadsomehow finagled a way to peruse the LaRose inventory inside the four LaRose Jacksonvillebuildings/warehouses before any shops or designers were admitted. There werehundreds of thousands of shoes everywhere, and we managed to pick out a fewpairs to purchase. I have sold or worn a few pairs, but am now selling the restof my collection here.
Please check my other listings formore fabulous mid-century Joseph La Rose shoes.
I tried to attach some links for thehistory of this great shoe designer, but Ebay = no go.
