HEELS AND JEWELS. THE TIMELESS ELEGANCE FROM 1533.
Once upon a time ...
The life of Catherine de’ Medici may sound like an ancient tale. A story of a faraway era that’s long since passed.
It’s the story of a princess who became queen that changed the rules of the game forever.
It’s 1533. The occasion is the wedding between her and the Duke of Orleans, later King Henry II of France. Catherine decides to wear high heels for the occasion.
Both strong and ambitious, Catherine overthrew the constraints of women's fashion during her era filled with rigid social norms.
This would be the first time in history that a woman wears high heels to a formal occasion.
Catherine was the first woman ever to show the seductive walk of a woman in heels that fascinates the world to this day. She was a pioneer of her era that affected modern cultures around the world and made heels an everyday accessory symbolic of elegance, grace, and femininity.
