Calling itself the “first documentary to explore the intimate relationship that ties women to their shoes,” God Save My Shoes is now available via On-Demand. Seriously, a documentary about shoes? I’m not into shoes, but I must be in the minority.
God Save My Shoes features Manolo Blahnik, Stacy ‘Fergie’ Ferguson, Christian Louboutin, Dita Von Teese, Kelly Rowland, Pierre Hardy, Walter Steiger, Monica Von Neumann, Filipa Fino, Beth Shak, and Meghan Cleary, and was directed by Julie Benasra.
The Story:
God Save My Shoes is the first documentary to explore the intimate relationship that ties women to their shoes. To understand why shoes are the most addictive and seductive fashion accessory, God Save My Shoes journeyed into women’s psyches and closets, examining the psychological, sociocultural, and erotic significance of shoes.
The quest to decipher why shoes trigger such passion among most women (and quite a few men) took the production to New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Toronto, Milan, and Florence to interview all those who play a role in the global shoe phenomenon: extreme shoe-lovers and everyday women, fashion historians and editors, psychologists, sex experts, as well as shoe fetishists.
Witty, glamorous, insightful, and sassy, this film brings an offbeat and captivating answer to the universal relationship between women and their shoes.
