my parents came and visited me in cali and we visited Melrose
.
...we spent about 3 hours in Alexander McQueen and didn't make it to any other shops.
.
my dad bought his wedding suit, the most incredible suit I've ever seen but the best part was that I TRIED ON THE ARMADILLO SHOES
.
I was asking them about when they were going to get the SS10 collection in which lead to the shoes (of course) and they happened to have a pair in store, which is ridiculously impossible, since McQueen's death most shoes have been put into archive and they are not going to be made at all anymore. This pair was brought in straight from the runway for Janet Jackson, who decided (she's has to be crazy) that she didn't want them
.
my favourite thing about Janet Jackson: we have the same sized feet.
.
these shoes are massive, ginormous, on an out of this world scale. I think I was about 7ft when I had them on and walking was doable but friggin hard. basically inside the back zip was another zip and the entire shoe is built up over another shoe (its like one of this stripper heels with the massive pump)
.
price tag: around $13,000
.
an investment if I ever saw one
