The extensive fashion and design collection of the Kew Historical Society has been assembled over a number of decades. One subsection of this collection is shoes, designed and manufactured for Australian women by Australian and European designers. Many of the shoes, while often mass-produced, were generally constructed by skilled artisans using traditional shoe-making techniques. The shoes date from the 1890s to the 1980s. A pair of wide shaped and heeled women’s leather slingback shoes designed by Moya in shades of brown, red and ochre. Moya Bowler was one of the most successful shoe designers working in the UK during the late 1960s. She introduced distinct 'Op Art' graphic elements, and earthy panelled leather gradients that defined Mod and 1970s footwear culture. She functioned as an elite high-end designe rather than operating was-production factories. women's shoes, moya -- shoes, footwear
