I know Armadillo shoes have been big in Japan for a couple/few years now, but Alexander McQueen???  Say it isn’t so!

Watch the Alexander McQueen show that took place at Paris Fashion Week yesterday and his models walking in these things like it’s nothing. And people think modeling is an easy job.  HAH!  A head’s up… this is Paris, where people actually celebrate the human body without having a conniption.  There’s mild nudity in the film at the beginning of the show and briefly in the show.  That is if you think a woman with breasts smaller than what I expect Christian Siriano‘s are actually qualifies as nudity.

While I appreciate the beauty of appearing to be walking en pointe when viewed from the front, there is nothing beautiful about these shoes when viewed from the side.  And I had to watch the video twice to notice the clothes, an advantage the show’s audience certainly didn’t have.  No worries though, they didn’t miss anything.

Hmmmm… maybe now I know why McQueen thought the shoes were a good idea.
