#160; Fashion history is rife with examples of women borrowing from menswear. Bloomers (the nineteenth-century adaption of male trousers), riding habits (adapted from men's riding habits) and the 1980s "power suit" are just a few examples. But how often do men adopt versions of womenswear? Not very often. Jean Paul Gaultier's skirts for men come to mind, but not much else. One notable exception is the 1970s platform shoe. Worn by both men and women, flamboyant 1970s platform shoes crossed gender barriers. Because of their eye-catching height, the most exotic platform shoes were worn by men under the age of thirty. Despite high prices and the necessity of re-learning to walk in platform heels as high as 5 inches, young men bought, "gold and silver, or pink and purple, or green and yellow monster shoes that rival anything their girl friends are wearing."1 Men's platform shoeC. 1972Museum Purchase2006.5.2AB
