Any of you lovers of green? In Victorian Era, vibrant greens were made using dyes, including arsenic. Owners of green were not at risk, but the fabric dyers, none of who wore protective anything at the time, were constantly absorbing arsenic through their skin. #omg #historicshoes #historicfashion #fashionvictims #fashionvictim #fashion #oldfashion #victorian #victorianfashion #greenfashion #arsenic #deathbyfashion #fashiondeath #deathbyarsenic #fashionisdangerous #arsenicisdangerous #arsenicispoisonous beautifulgreen #emeraldgreen #emerald #ilovegreen #museum #fashionmuseum #fashionhistorymuseum #shoemuseum #fashionanthropology (at Bata Shoe Museum)

Jainism is a sect of Buddhism which believes in causing no harm to all creatures, referred to as ahimsa. These stilted silver toe-knob padukas from India. The stilts at either end raise the wearer off the ground, reducing it's size of foot print, allowing other animals to pass underneath. #jainism #ahimsa #batamuseum #historicshoes #indianshoes #silvershoes #toeknob #noharmdone #filigree #fancy #fancyfootwear #museum #instagood #artisticfootwear #highfashionlol #instagram #stilts #tallerthanme (at Bata Shoe Museum)

Wondering who set the trends before the Kardashians? Historically fashion trends were defined by royalty. King Louis XIV loved to wear red heeled shoes, and he was the only person in France legally allowed to do so. Christian Louboutin took his inspiration from this famous king, and now soles all his heels in a red sole. wWith only the most fashionable people wearing them, such as Dita Von Tease, the status of the red heel, then and now, is secure on the feet of royalty. #christianlouboutin #louboutin #christianlouboutinshoes #louboitinheels #louboutinredheels #redheels #redsoles #shoes #historicshoes #fashionhistory #historicfashions #history #redshoes #red #rococo #rococofashion #rococoshoes #kinglouisxiv #kinglouis #louisxiv #frenchfashion #fashionfrance #frenchhistory #shoehistory #royalfashion #royalty #frenchroyalhistory #prefrenchrevolution #rococoperiod #rococoperiodfashion #bata #batamuseum (at Bata Shoe Museum)
