A little interesting fact:

Chanel invented her first shoe line to lengthen the leg and make the foot appear smaller. She did this with making the shoe beige, the color of the leg. Then the toe was black, stopping the eye’s view of the foot, making it appear smaller. This is how the iconic beige and black were matched up and still play a very important part of the Chanel look today!
