Platform shoes were first used in Ancient Greece for raising the physical height of important characters in the Greek theatre. Later, in the 15th century, the Chopine was invented, typically worn by Italian nobility. Catherine de Medici started the trend among French nobility. With its thick sole typically made of cork, rubber, plastic, or wood, they served to distinguish the upper class from the plebeians. The platform shoe went mass market when Salvatore Ferragamo designed the cork platform in the 1930s. Variations of the shoe have appeared since then, including the disco platform in the 70s, the platform sneaker and platform sandals in the 90s. UK fashion designer Vivienne Westwood brought the high heeled platform shoe back into high-fashion in the early 1990s. Since then, platforms have been worn by A-listers and trendsetters from Elton John to Lady Gaga, the Spice Girls to Stevie Nicks. Most notably, however, are Christian Louboutin’s trademark platform heels.
