FRIZON Maud (Shoe designer)

Maud Frizon is known for her shoes with cone-shaped heels, a black suede pair of which are the only garments worn in this picture. The role of the man id to communicate the sexual intention of Frizon's work. "A shoe has to make you look beautiful. You can be wearing a simple dress, but if you have something exquisite on your feet, it becomes a perfect look", said Frizon, who gained this understanding as a model for Courrèges, Nina Ricci, Jean Patou and Christian Dior. She decided to design shoes when she was unable to find styles to go with the designers' clothes on her modelling assignments (in the 1960s models were expected to provide their own shoes). In 1970 she created her first collection of witty, sexy shoes, all hand-cut and finished. There were queues outside her tiny shop on Paris's rue Saint Germain. Brigitte Bardot was a fan, particularly of Frizon's innovative, zipless, high-heeled Russian boots and simple girlie pumps.
