Alexander McQueen 12" heels

Even the most seasoned among the Vogue fashion team were quite literally staggered by the arrival of these Alexander McQueen mega shoes. Dubbed the "armadillos”, these python numbers dwarf even the most towering stilettos. Measuring an otherworldly 12 inches tall, we couldn’t resist giving them a whirl, but miserably failed to make it further than the Vogue fashion cupboard. How those McQueen models made it down the runway is beyond us. Respect is due.
