Cashing In On The Fetish
The world’s best-known shoe collector, former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos, has opened a museum in which most of the exhibits are her own footwear.
The exhibits include shoes made by such world-famous names as Ferragamo, Givenchy, Chanel and Christian Dior, all size eight-and-a-half.
The Marikina City Footwear Museum in Manila contains hundreds of pairs of shoes, many of them found in the presidential palace when Imelda and her husband, President Ferdinand Marcos, fled the Philippines in 1986.
Some 200,000 people work in the Marikina district making shoes, with roads carrying names such as Sandal Street and Slipper Street.
The museum management hopes it will help attract tourism to Marikina, a district known as the shoe capital of the Philippines.
