THE DEATH OF

THE STILETTO

HEEL..

UNNOTICED IN

IT DIED

PARIS

FASHION has a tide-like certainty about it: what

comes in must eventually go out. Nothing can hurry it away-certainly not criticism or scorn --but sooner or later, go it must.

And probably the biggest unproclaimed news of the Paris collections this year-news which will rejoice the hearts of millions-was right down at floor level: the stiletto heel is on its way OUT. In all the chequered history of fashion, perhaps no single idea has aroused quite such concerted opposi- tion as the notorious stiletto heel, which, allied to the needlepoint toe, must be just about the most controversial shoe shape in history.

Opposition from the older generation, female as much as male, expressed in a long dia. approving stare, a burst of jolly avuncular. laughter: "How you young things can loller round on those weeny Httle heels I don't know"....

Opposition from the chiro- podists who prophesied anything dull ache in the bunions from tp total deformation of the foot for those who persisted in wear- ing them,

And clamorous opposition from town councillors and architects, from store-owners and office-bosses, from dance-

of hall managers and directors shipping lines who found car- peta parquet, rubber flooring, asphalt pavements and the decks of their beautiful liners stricken is it by infinite pockmarks or prematurely pounded into old oge.

H

Banned them OSTESSES ot deb dances have marked, their invita tions with delicate requesis that stiletto heels be chewed by guests. Factories have banned them as a safety measure.
