The collection of shoes, Delishoes, is an original idea created and photographed by Stephanie Seymour, Italy.

Thanks to my dear friend, Raffaella Sforza of Perugia, for her priceless help with the Italian text, her expert editorial advice, and her appreciated and valuable suggestions and support.

A great big “Thanks” to my dear friend Cathy Stone of New York, who lives in Perugia who invited me to her New York home in order to see the window display and for suggesting that I contact Stuart Weitzman in the first place.

An enormous thank you to our dear long-time friend and scientist, Prof. Steven Sibener of Chicago for having taken and sent me many wonderful photographs of the window display on Michigan Avenue.

A big “Grazie” to my husband for his precious help at the computer, to different photographer friends, graphic artists, etc. who helped and gave me valuable suggestions, and for all those who have shown a general enthusiasm for my Delishoes (including the very kind Martina Callegarin of RaiSat Ragazzi, Rome).

A warm “I love you!” to my parents for their support over the years for all of my creative ideas.

The shoes in the windows of New York and Chicago were created directly on the collection of shoes of designer Stuart Weitzman, New York.
