Alexander McQueen’s runway shows are some of the most anticipated ones during Fashion Week and his Spring/Summer 2010 show was no exception. The King of drama presented his signature art pieces, but THE SHOES were the most eye-catching highlight. We just wonder, will anyone actually wear them in real life?

Surely these are a joke!
Sorry, can’t vote. “Butt Ugly” wasn’t a choice.
LOL
That hag Madonna would wear them. Marie Antoinette would have liked them, too.
style for the club-footed?
Fugly.
Only if you’re into fetish wear. Something to remember: fashion shows are like automobile shows or technology shows — they allow the designers to show off concepts designs like concept cars. The model is not necessarily practical or even mass producible.
#3 looks like an Airedale
McQueen,.....
Men designing clothes for women, what’s that all about?
People with sado-prurient thoughts about shoes will enjoy them.
And Michelle Obama. Man, she wears some ugly clothes.
I want to see a video of one of the models actually walking in them.
3 of them look like bird talons.
Reminds me of Steve Martin’s “The Cruel Shoes.”
Anna knew She had to have a new pair of shoes today, and Carlo had helped her try on every pair in the store. Carlo spoke wearily, “Well, that’s it. That’s every pair of shoes in the place.”
“Oh, you must have one more pair. . . .”
“No, not one more . . . . Well, we have the cruel shoes, but no one would want to try . . .
“Yes, let me see the cruel shoes!”
“No, you don’t understand, you see, the cruel shoes are . . .’
“Get them!”
Carlo disappeared into the back room for a moment, and then reappeared carrying an ordinary shoebox. He took off the lid and removed a hideous pair of black and white pumps. But this was not an ordinary pair of black and white pumps; both were left feet, one had a right angle turn with separate compartments that pointed the toes in impossible directions. The other shoe was six inches long and was curved inward like a rocking chair with a vise and razor blades to hold the foot in place.
Carlo spoke hesitantly, “. . . Now you see . . . they’ re not fit for humans . . .” “Put them on me.”
“But... “Put them on me!”
Carlo knew all arguments were useless. He knelt down before her and forced the feet into the shoes.
The screams were incredible.
Anna crawled over to the mirror and held her bloody feet up where she could see.
“I like them.”
She paid Carlo and crawled out of the store into the street.
Later that day, Carlo was overheard saying to a new customer, “Well, that’s it. That’s every pair of shoes in the place. Unless, of course, you’d like to try the cruel shoes.”
