Alexander McQueen Spring 2010
Ok, ok. I know that a lot of you all are going to call me a heretic and burn me at the stake for this but: I don’t like the McQueen heel of ‘10. Let’s put aside that it doesn’t look like it could be remotely comfortable; I have plenty of shoes I adore that offer me not an iota of comfort. Here is my jam: shoes are supposed to maginify the grace and elegance of the female form - especially heels and especially the stems. Heels, be they of the cone, kitten, stilletto or stacked variety, should elongate, accentuate and adorn a woman’s leg like an accent, not claw it off like an eyesore. I think these shoes stop the eye short, they’re jarring and I think they are down right awkward to look at. I know that a lot of things don’t make it from the runway to the ready-to-wear, I am not convinced that these were ever destined to hit shelves, but honestly these crab-people feet distracted me from even seening McQueens line outside of them.
