Nicole Rudolph | The Victorian Foot Fad Inspired by a Horror Novel : Weird Fashion History @NicoleRudolph | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
In 1894 Trilby arrived and the world of literature would never be the same. A bohemian horror story with a tragic ending, centered around a perfect pair of feet. Though the name mainly lives on in trilby hats today, the novel had influence over so much more. It popularized pedicures, inspired countless texts and performances (including Phantom of the Opera), started a wave of celebrity feet pictures, littered us with foot themed merchandise, and gave us a villain whose name is still remembered a century later. Dozens of articles have been written about the impact Trilby has had on literature, art, fandom, and fashion. And yet, the story itself has been largely forgotten.
