1. #PLATFORM
The remarkable thing about the items we surround ourselves with in our current age is that in most cases, their beginnings are entirely unremarkable. Their first intentions are practical- sensible even- which is what’s so interesting. And you can believe that the first origins go way back, further than you ever expected. Today we’re going to do a little digging into the family tree of our #Wulfrun #TripleSole #creeper. A platform progeny, or ‘flatform’ shoe- whose elevation expertise is famed the world over.
Looking back you can find a variety of the platform in almost every continent . One of the earliest and most practical examples is from theatre in Ancient Greece, where the thespians needed an extra few inches in order for the audience to get a good look at what was going on. The more central your role was, the more inches you got- that must have been fun to watch in the dressing room. This is also the same reason you see platform shoes being adopted in China in the later 16th Century . Back over to Europe in the Middle Ages, and the reason is again practical, but grimmer. We all have an idea about how dirty the streets must have been during this period, what with their very blasé approach to waste disposal. So it was certainly necessary to elevate their feet over the layers of filth, so wooden platforms, known as pattens, were strapped to shoes. At this point they were quite utilitarian, but you can imagine further down the line into the 15th and 16th Century, the French and Italian aristocracy were not about practicality. #Pattens morphed into #chopines, and became as elaborate and extreme as the bustles, corsets and wigs that they wore them with. Around this time, court heels with concealed platforms were popular in the royals courts, hence the name. Discreetly elevating you a couple of centimetres without anyone noticing.
For your modern platform that really shook up fashionable footwear- it was #SalvatoreFerragamo in the 1930’s that stole the show. His elaborate, heeled sandals were a hit in the burgeoning Hollywood scene. Continued in comments...
