Since I was a little girl I have always been obsessed with clothes and fashion. I love to read Harper's Bazzar, Vogue, Glamour, etc, and see all the new trends and styles being created. As most people know, September is like New Year's for the fashion world. All the new pieces come out and are displayed in New York's fashion week, London, Milan, and then the infamous Paris fashion week. This year, Paris fashion week lasted from September 30th-October 8th. I have kept up with the designers a little bit the most shocked I have been is by the Alexander McQueen Fall 2009 couture shoes. These shoes sport elaborate paint details, crystals, sculpture, and not to mention, THEY ARE ALL 10 INCHES tall. This is ridiculous to me. I am 5'2 and if I wore these shoes (emphasis on the if because I know I wouldn't be able to walk), I would be 6 feet tall. You have to be at least 5'7 to walk the runways, so I think this made all the models look like giraffes. Seriously, who would wear these? I lovee Alexander McQueen - I love his scarves and knits - but 10 inches is a little much, and not to mention, a safety hazard. These shoes are nonetheless very creative & modern - I think the painted one I posted reminds me of a Picasso painting. However, my thoughts are that these shoes should only be displayed in a glass case for art, or, if you want to wear them - keep a pair of crutches handy!
