Fashion over function

It’s difficult to have a conversation about the Alexander McQueen SS10 show without someone exclaiming “OMGTHESHOESDIDYOUSEETHESHOES?!”. They are rumoured not to be going into production, but the enigma that is Daphne Guinness, Queen of couture, has managed to get her hands on a pair. Standing at 12 inches tall with a 7 inch heel and 5 inch platform, they are not for the faint hearted…. I want to try a pair just to see if I could walk in them – fashion over function, always.

Of course this is not the first time Daphne has pushed the sartorial boat out.... in Nina Ricci SS09 heel-less wonders..

Round of applause for Daphne!
