Outside the Shoe Box! Liberace's Fabulous Footwear

A new exhibit appearing at the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas features the fabulous footwear of the show-off of show business, the godfather of glam, the man himself-Liberace.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 20, 2006 -- A new exhibit appearing at the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas features the fabulous footwear of the show-off of show business, the godfather of glam, the man himself-Liberace.

On display are Liberace’s American flag inspired oxfords designed for his famous 1970’s hot-pants costume; a rare look at an archetypical Liberace-style sneaker; a blue knee-high boot with beads, rhinestones and edged with mink fur and enough bling to sanction Liberace his due as the King of Bling.

Karan Feder, an award-winning Hollywood costume designer and fashion designer is guest curator of this unique exhibition. As such, she interprets the collection with both historical respect and a wink and a nod to the inherent kitsch-factor that these pieces deserve.
