[description] => Dolorosa
Stylist Cynthia Altoriso: 'I always loved your black mule ever since I saw it on your foot at Marie Antoinette party that I did. As a matter of fact, I was haunted by it's beauty.
When Vintage magazine booked me to set the 'funeral dinner' table to illustrate the story on France's first food critic, Alexandre Grimod, circa 18th century, a bell went off.
Though the editor only wanted the table, I asked her if I could arrange for some 'detail' shots. I knew that Grimod, despite his infirmity, was popular with the ladies and had a mistress.
Though the magazine did not want to bring in any people for the 'funeral dinner' set, I wanted to at least suggest the presence of guests. The most important guest would be Grimod's mistress. I wanted to have her foot peeking out from beneath the table so that her presence would be somewhat ephemeral...
I know you have names for all of your girls and you offered me to come up with a name.'
The name 'Dolorosa' is a derivative of Dolores and you know how I love my 'secrets and connections to the stories that I do... Dolorosa means sadness, grief... we get the word 'dolorous' from it which means pain, sorrow, mourning....
The purple macaroon at her foot was from the funeral dinner."

Please read our Terms and conditions for using this website.
The Virtual Shoe Museum was initiated by Liza Snook in 2004. Once the idea was born, a long search began for designers, photographers and publishers connected to shoes. New friendships developed and our mailbox filled with loads of material on fantastic shoes, art and design on shoes.
And finally, with the help of Taco Zwaanswijk of Interactive Affairs, who designed the site, and Bart van der Ploeg of Resolume, who programmed the database and created the content management system, we're live! And proud! And we're only just beginning...
If you have any questions about the collection, or leads on shoes or designers, please let us know. Also, we're interested in your opinion on the collection and your experiences in the museum. You can contact the Virtual Shoe Museum by mail: Liza@VirtualShoeMuseum.com.
The Virtual Shoe Museum has different 'perspectives' on a shoe or object. These perspectives (designer, focus, colour, material, etc) show related objects and thus ways to navigate the collection.
The left column of the screen contains the main navigation. Each perspective contains several 'rooms'. Each room contains thumbnails of the objects it contains (on the right side of the screen). Choose any to view this object.
On an object's page, below the image, you can view more images, video and text (if available). Above the thumbnails, you find a list showing all the rooms this object belongs to. Here you can wander the rooms and find related objects.
