Vivienne Westwood: A Pair of Super Elevated Court Shoes,

Autumn/Winter 1993 'Anglomania' Collection,

smooth black leather with 20cm/8" platform heels, Labelled size UK 5

Supermodel Naomi Campbell wore a similar pair of super elevated platform shoes during the 1993 runway. During the walk, the exaggerated height made them almost impossible to balance in, and she famously lost her footing and fell on the catwalk. The shoes themselves became legendary, symbolising both the daring creativity of Vivienne Westwood and the risks models sometimes take to bring avant-garde fashion to life.

465 Peugeot Type 15 8hp Twin-Cylinder Double-Phaeton (1898) by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Peugeot Double Phaeton (1897-01) Engine 8 hp twin cylinder Country of Origin France Production Body Double Phaeton Chassis Number 439 Engine Number 174 Registration Number CH 71 (Derby) PEUGEOT ALBUM www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623690496925... Armand Peugeot produced his first prototype car as early as 1880 and in 1891 produced a batch of five cars each slightly different from the rest. He had been in contact with Gottlieb Daimler and Emile Levassor and formed a collaboration to produce cars with a Daimler patent engine, produced by Panhard Levassor under licence. By 1895 he had decided to go his own way, tiring of the family firm he founded SA des Peugeot at uAdincourt in 1897 then in Paris from 1900. The new company produced 323 in 1899 and 500 in 1900. The light cars had rear mounted engines, while the heavier cars had their engines under the front seat. By 1902 the designs were modernised by Louis Delage, who remained with the company until 1905 Peugeot ended its Daimler partnership and produced their first in-house engine for this car, made in their recently built Audincourt factory. Their transversely mounted flat-twin was a departure from this prior foreign-made V-twin engine. The Peugeot Type 15 has a horizontal 8hp twin-cylinder engine displacing approximately 2.2 litres, which drives via four-speeds-plus-reverse gearbox, making it an advanced design for the day. It also has an early form of governor-controlled 'cruise control', with hot tub ignition This car was delivered new to its first owner a resident of the Muriac region of France, on the 16th July 1898 The Peugeot must have been well cared-for during its early life and subsequent storage, as by the 1950s, when the car came into the possession of the Museo di Rodo at Uzès in the Gard department of southern France, it was complete and un-restored. When the museum closed in the 1980s, It then came to England selling at a London auction, it was then comprehensively restored retaining most of its original parts, and in more recent times has been a regular entrant in the annual London to Brighton Veteran Vehicle run, as well as a winner of the Regents Street concours.
