[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interestingly, very pointy-toed shoes usually appear when elites are feeling confident and income inequality is rising and during periods of cultural exuberance before major conflicts (religious wars, political instability). Pointy toes were a thing back during the early 2000s tech bubble (George W Bush administration) and the first Trump administration.

Rising Income Inequality - Pointed shoes often flourish when elites want to visually differentiate themselves.
Social Tension or Transitional Times - Big pointy-shoe moments appear before wars (1300s, 1500s, 1900s) and before major financial crises (2000s)

A broader shift to “hard-edged” aesthetics often accompanies geopolitical tension, technological disruption and a desire for strong silhouettes. Historically, extreme fashion silhouettes have often preceded economic contractions—because they appear near the emotional peak of a cycle.

There you go - took a history of fashion class when I was in grad school for international economics. [/quote]
Fascinating. I remember pointy-toed pumps in the 80s too during the Reagan era. [/quote]
