secrets behind a portuguese custard tarts. and delving into the complex and magical world of art of the time. but we kicked off the show on a high note with high heels that is now most high heeled shoes are made with women in mind however a growing number of men are also embracing that added boost to their height but there is a problem most men struggle to find the right size and style so here's a look now at this niche market and some of the people pushing it forward. bolded sexy and extravagant this is the chosen style of the cuban entertainer jorge gonzalez who has been a connoisseur of high heeled shoes since he was a young man. i had to wear high heels

because when you're wearing your. change you know i feel more comfortable i love to introduce myself to high winds and i think it's just a statement. koenig of dollars has been making statements on german national television for the last 10 years as a modeling coach choreographer and a juror on a popular dance show his heels define his image but does he see any trends developing with high heel shoes for men on a more general level historico in the men's who's got to wear high heels but during this those who do see women has got to wear a suit top source you know it's been on the men who play on the floor. now it's not so much about the system. really. was bigger with michael it's. like canadian singer sean mendez who's been spotted in stack heeled

boots rock legends like the late prince david bowie and freddie mercury long embrace the high heeled shoe on stage and now the next generation like british singer sam smith is following suit. sales in this nation market are increasing steadily but for men finding the right size is difficult british designer sophia web server recognized this problem. it was coming very apparent to me that wasn't a lot of. notches in design teams might don t. change we do not sit heels and we were doing so done. class america we need to see him to west and she used to dance and i think he's at 43 and all we had was 14 i'm going to say farewell final and that's going to be an extended scientists say that we finally saw things at work that fits the cult finchley highlight the.

while so feel webster shoes aren't specifically made for man extended sizes of up to you 46 means more options. daniel bush founder of cross swords shoes creates handmade high heels for men on a more conservative level to recognized a gap in the market. current shoes that men can buy women's high heels very small and even if you buy the same saw is the problem is the design for a woman's for which is smaller so we designed the shoe that last too specifically for a man's foot so that. when they slip in i think there are people outside the an industry that slowly slowly coming towards the idea of wearing high heels. modern high heels were introduced to europe in the 17th century aristocratic men wore them to demonstrate in upper class status and royalty such as

king louis the 14th more than to increase his stature only aristocrats with red heels were allowed in his court. high heeled shoes have come a long way since then but what about negative attitudes towards men wearing them nowadays. where people can say what they want to. do you have to spread yourself how you feel to hear. this paid thing about you. confidence and comfort are key aspects that will carry this style choice into the future. we turn our attention now to a unesco intangible cultural heritage building batched roofs now covering houses with reed is one of the oldest crafts in construction the 1st facts roof dates back some 6000 years well nowadays you'll find plenty of them along the north and baltic

a new generation of young people who choose to learn the craft and book with this natural material. right next up we are headed to the portuguese capital lisbon home of the custard tart this simple pastry out of eggs sugar and cinnamon has been satisfying this week too since the 18th century that's when catholic monks start their clothes with egg whites and use the leftover yolks to create this pastry while the original recipe now lies in the hands of the. belem bakery and remains a closely guarded secret well normally there are long lines at this bakery but because of the coronavirus access is limited so we were able to go behind the scenes for this tasty pastry. and.

images. as a result he's landscape photos look more mystical than really stick. a hyper regulus landscape photography is about bringing together all the emotions i felt before while taking my shots in the one picture the different moments situations and ambient lights could take 234 or up to 40 or 50 images to convey that feeling to the observer and it's this feeling that he also wants to transmit to the fashion participants 1st moments are these here. the best ones are actually those 2 there in the middle. when it comes to framing the image the amateurs get help for that and a vaska he's been a landscape photographer for more than 2 decades and knows whether it's classic cool or hyper realistic photography the ground rules are always the saying what's important with such wide open landscapes is the foreground of the know see pictures
