US NNFIT SC.211 · collection · 1963-2008

Donated in March 2009, the Arsho Baghsarian shoe design collection comprises approximately 26 cubic feet (14 cubic feet for the sketches and 12 cubic feet for the sample shoes and embellishments). The collection contains 561 shoe prototypes (210 total pairs and 141 total single shoes), 9 original boxes, 4 accessories (2 pairs of Shin-Shams) and 4752 design sketches, some handbags but mostly shoes shown in profile. Many, especially during the later part of her career are sketch copies since the originals remain at the factory. The original sketches are done in pencil, ink and gouache and photocopied. Additionally, there are numerous fabric and leather swatches, samples of ornament and color charts, roughly 102 pattern pieces, 224 advertisements primarily from The New York Times and Footwear News, 47 photographs primarily from the Margaret Jerrold retrospective exhibition held at Lord and Taylor in 1982, assorted press clippings, and 43 spiral-bound shoe forecasts from the 1950’s and 1960’s from the Mademoiselle Shoe Company. This is undoubtedly an important collection due in part to Baghsarian’s artistry and sculptural sensibility. She was able to utilize and craft a wide variety of materials to produce throughout the world during a career that spanned more than forty years from 1963 through 2008. The range of materials makes the collection an important tool for conservation, while the collection of design sketches, actual shoe prototypes and marketing, sometimes in publications that have greatly transformed or no longer exist, gives students a sense of art marketing and fashion history.

US NNFIT SC.211.1 · series · 1963-2008
Part of Arsho Baghsarian shoe design collection, 1963-2008

Donated in March 2009 and currently housed in 9 boxes and 163 folders, the volume of Arsho Baghsarian shoe design sketch series is approximately 14 cubic feet (approximately 24000 sketches), which covers the complete output of Arsho Baghsarian from 1963 to 2008.
The series starts with a red pump sketch for Christian Dior dated back to 1963. This sketch is also the only Dior shoe sketch in this collection. Most original sketches are from 1960s to 1990s, which involve brands such as I.Miller, Andrew Geller, Shoebiz, and Arsho for Shoebiz. The original sketches were done in pencil, ink and gouache. The sketches for Stuart Weitzman (including Stuart Weitzman, Stuart, Arsho for Stuart Weitzman) account for approximately two-thirds of this series. Since the original sketches especially those in Arsho’s late career remain in the factory, the sketches of this part in the collection are photocopies. Arsho devotes her entire career and talents to shoe designs. She has designed the full spectrum of women’s footwear: from sandals to boots and from wedding slippers to sports shoes.
The range of materials makes the series an important tool for conservation, while the collection of design sketches, actual shoe prototypes and marketing, even those in publications that have been greatly transformed or no longer exist, give students a sense of art marketing and fashion history.

Part of Arsho Baghsarian shoe design collection, 1963-2008

As the longest period in Arsho Barhsarian’s carrier, this Stuart Weitzman line exists as the biggest sub-series in this series, which contains a total of 13,597 sketches in 82 folders. The folders of earlier years (approximately before year 2000) contain original sketches and their copies as well. Most of the original sketches are drawn in pencil, and a small portion of the original sketches are colorful or decorated with golden pigment. The original sketches after 2000 are still kept by Stuart Weitzman or its manufacture - only the copies are kept in this sub-series.
The evolution of shoe styles from 1980’s to now can be found in this sub-series. Various shoe design elements such as charms, crystals, bows and floral pattern are applied to the shoes targeted for women in different ages and occasions. The diversity of the textile is one of the most noticeable features in this sub-series. Materials including calf, lamb skin, canvas, denim and silk are used and combined creatively and broadly in Arsho’s design.

Another striking feature in this sub-series is the pavé evening shoes line. The elegantly designed evening shoes decorated with Swarovski crystals is one of the most famous and popular shoe lines in Arsho’s carrier.
