British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood’s shoes are touring the world. Legendary for providing the ground zero for the punk movement in the form of her and Malcolm McLaren’s London boutique “Let It Rock”, Westwood is showcasing around 200 pop shoe designs from a 40-year career. Among her provocative spikes are such creations as the Seditionary boot, a salute to fetishism with the Mary Jane’s of Erotic Zones, and the Super Elevated Gillie made famous when model Naomi Campbell fell off the catwalk in a pair.
