Bata Shoe Museum presents André Perugia: A Design Legend Unveiled
2025-10-30 10:00 - 2027-04-30 17:00 | Bata Shoe Museum, 327 Bloor St W, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 1W7, Canada
André Perugia: A Design Legend Unveiled
October 2025 to April 2027
The Bata Shoe Museum explores the work of one of the most significant and under-researched footwear designers of the 20th century, André Perugia. A pioneering Italian- French shoe designer, André Perugia (1893-1977) is known for his architecturally innovative and technically masterful footwear designs. From his first boutique in Nice in the early 1920s, he revolutionized luxury footwear, creating shoes for fashion houses like Dior and Schiaparelli, as well as for celebrity clients including Josephine Baker, Mistinguette, and Princess Lillian of Belgium. His work is preserved in major museum collections worldwide.
Throughout the run of the exhibit, over 95 examples of the designer’s work dating from the 1920s through the 1960s, will be featured; shoes from contemporary designers inspired by his vision will also be on display. This exhibition will highlight the historical importance of Perugia’s work, contextualizing it within the larger framework of fashion across the decades. It will explore some of his most important innovations, including Perugia’s contribution to the development of the articulated sole and the stiletto heel.
André Perugia is curated by Nishi Bassi and includes objects from the BSM collection, and generous loans from Musée de la chaussure Romans-sur-Isère and Fondation Azzedine Alaia.
Exhibition Hours:
Monday-Saturday 10AM-5PM
Sunday 12PM-5PM

Films We Like presents Köln 75
2025-10-31 08:00 - 2025-11-19 17:00
Films We Like is proud to announce the Canadian acquisition of Köln 75, the highly anticipated music-drama from director Ido Fluk. The film made its celebrated debut in the Special Gala section of the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, drawing acclaim for its captivating portrayal of a young woman’s determination and the power of live music.
Set in 1975, Köln 75 tells the remarkable true story of Vera Brandes, Germany’s youngest concert promoter at the time, who—at just 18 years old—organized what would become the legendary Köln Concert by jazz pianist Keith Jarrett.
A night marked by adversity, improvisation, and unexpected transcendence, the concert went on to become one of the most iconic and best-selling piano recordings of all time.
With Köln 75, Fluk captures both the cultural pulse of 1970s Europe and the intimate, high-stakes tension behind a concert that almost didn’t happen. The film is a tribute to youthful audacity, artistic brilliance, and the transformative power of music.
