At the Chicago Shoe Fair - October 1955.
Designer of the V Throatline:
Advocate of the V Throatline is I. Miller & Sons. The man who concocted the line, because he firmly believes it is the coming think, is André Perugia, who greeted the reporter at the door. And he speaks of trends with authority, for he works in Paris designing shoes for Fath and Givenchy collections.
"I cannot speak English so good," Perugia apologized, but the explanations were understandable. He reached for a bisque colored pump with the most pointed of toes. Throatline followed the toe line to add the V line a perforated band which followed the throat. "They are comfortable" assured the tall, slim man in a gray business suit. "You got them a little longer." Lowered heels accompany the V line, it was explained. "This line is straight now." and Perugia ran his finger down the side of a pump.
