Alexander McQueen "Armadillo" python shoes

Fashion knows no heights - literally. The models at Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2010 ready-to-wear walked the runway in 12-inch (yes, that's one foot!) python heels. How they did it is surely a miracle defying the laws of physics, but they made it look effortless.

McQueen is a designer whom people either regard as genius or crazy. I am leaning towards genius on this one, because as outrageous as these heels look by themselves, McQueen pulls if off by co-ordinating it with alien-like hair, "Tilda Swinton as the Ice Queen" makeup, and a structured, out-of-this-world design for his clothes. Not particularly wearable, but it is a work of art that manages to show the human form as otherworldly creatures of beauty and strength. I say, it's a success that will further cement his icon status.

What do you think? Genius or horrendous?
