'The Heights of Fashion: Platform Shoes Then and Now" spans more than 100 years of platform shoes. Ranging from the delicate "lotus bud shoes" of the 19th century China designed to emphasize women's tiny bound feet to the chunky Goth platforms of the 108-s, the shoes on exhibit demonstrate how extreme variations on a style developed in response to different cultural philosophies and concepts of beauty.
