The python version of Alexander McQueen’s spring 2010 runway shoes just arrived at British Vogue’s offices. They are called the “armadillos” and actually measure twelve inches, not ten as previously reported. The staff tried them on “but miserably failed to make it further than the Vogue fashion cupboard.” As soon as they get to our offices, we will gladly videotape ourselves trying to walk in them for your viewing pleasure. No embarrassment or carnage will be censored. [Vogue UK]
