The platform on the right is probably the most famous Deodato creation from the 1972 collection. The signature see-trough hole was a collaboration with the heel maker VALE from S. Elpidio A Mare. The model was supposed to be lost in time, instead it is kept in four different European museums, appeared in a 1977 British Pathé show and more recently (April 2015) in Selfridges' feature "The 1970s Trend" (below).
It's a different story for the platform on the left, part of the same collection: another unusual sole with a peculiar rounded shape composed of two cork pieces of different colors. Lost? No, found it.

They love the trend but didn't acknowledged Deodato nor Romea; on the other hand they let us know that it is a 1973 silver platform from the archives of Sipa Press/REX Shuttershock. Right.
