Boots
Not on view
Owing their style to prevailing taste in womenswear, this unusually elaborate pair of child's ankle boots features patterned fabric insertions set under a fancy serpentine cutout, highlighted with topstitching. Cutouts were an important trend in women's boots at the time, sometimes in very elaborate Art Nouveau motifs. The use of patterned woven fabric is also a notable contemporary element, as is the preference for dark colors. Within a few years, all of these elements would be distinctly unfashionable.
