1939
There are probably only a handful of movies that most everyone has seen; Wizard of Oz is probably one of them. The ruby red slippers worn by the late iconic Judy Garland, of which there were seven made, have sold at auction for as much as $666,000. A pair is also on display at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
1910
High button shoes were all the rage in the start of the 20th century. Period movies such as Titanic (which is tied with All About Eve for the most Oscars won) heavily featured such shoes on actress Kate Winslett. This film was so popular and influential that the 1910’s style was worn by most everyone at the 1998 Academy Awards.
1700
Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, painted 1701. During this time in Versailles the nobility were still living very high on the hog, so to speak. Some of the most iconic figures came out of this period in time from Marie Antoinette during the fall of Versailles to Napoleon after the French Revolution. Moreover, this period in time provides inspiration for designers most frequently.
