High Heels is a bold photography book capturing the electric energy of 1970s and ’80s New York City, where punk, New Wave, fashion, and club culture collided. Photographer Frank Rispoli immersed himself in iconic venues like Studio 54, Danceteria, Max’s Kansas City, and Tier 3, documenting the performance of sexuality, style, and desire through an unexpected lens—women’s shoes.

Photographed in club bathrooms, taxis, sidewalks, and rooftops across Manhattan, these striking images transform high heels into powerful symbols of identity and self-expression. Inspired by NYC nightlife and underground fashion culture, Rispoli’s debut book is both intimate and culturally significant.

Perfect for collectors of New York photography, punk history, fashion photography, club culture books, and vintage NYC art, High Heels is a captivating tribute to an unforgettable era.
