Greatest shoe collection of all time

Filipino First Lady Imelda Marcos' 2,700 shoe collection has succumbed to termites and water damage, along with other possessions left behind after she and her dictator husband were driven into U.S. exile by a 1986 popular revolt. Though all is not lost, about 765 pairs--including famous brands like Gucci, Charles Jourdan, Christian Dior, Ferragamo, Chanel and Prada--survived the Marikina floods.
