High Heels Fashion, Femininity and Seduction £29.95 edited by Ivan
Vartanian, texts by James Crump
Hardback, 192 pages, 173 colour illustrations
Lavishly illustrated with a vivid selection of images from key
contemporary photographers such as Guy Bourdin, Juergen Teller, Marilyn
Minter, Tim Walker, David LaChapelle, Miles Aldridge and Robert
Mapplethorpe. This book explores the confluence of art, fashion and
fetish in the cult of high heels stalking down fashion show runways and
along city streets everywhere.
Hundreds of compelling and extremely frank photographs are punctuated by
essays and, most notably, interviews with two deities of shoe design,
Manolo Blahnik and Nicholas Kirkwood.

We must receive any items that are returned for a refund or exchange within 14 days in a new and unused condition, with original packaging intact, along with all receipts. We strongly recommend you use a recorded/insured delivery service as we regret that we cannot be held responsible for goods lost in transit. Please note that if you require goods sent out in exchange we do make a further carriage charge. Any refund will be made in the tender type originally transacted.
Price Policy
We reserve the right to change our prices immediately if there is any change to the VAT rate or if there is a major change in the value of the pound against any currencies which could affect some imported items.
Why you can feel secure shopping with us
When you shop with us, our secure server encrypts all of your personal information, including name, address and credit card information. We use SagePay which are an industry leader in secure internet transactions. SagePay are used by thousands of other UK businesses for transaction security.
Industry leading transaction security
All transaction information passed between our website and the SagePay Payment System is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages from SagePay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Internationally recognised encryption and data storage
Once on the SagePay system, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Private network links to banks
SagePay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
Employee access
No individuals within our company or SagePay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
