ALIENS OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY

Fashion has definitely reached a new extreme lately. If you look at most fashion magazines, you can see a variety of unique and out of the ordinary pieces, in particular are the types of shoes. The main trend that I’ve noticed often is the height of the heels on these shoes. We all know that a woman’s outfit is instantaneously more fashion forward when she puts on a pair of sexy heels, but in today’s version of heels, I’m starting to question if the pain us women have to endure for the overall look of our sky-high heels is ultimately worth it?

Alexander McQueen, for example, has designed a remarkable ten-inch heel on the runway for his past spring 2010 collection. As expected, his shoes became one of the most wanted items by his followers. According to a report by Grazia, '' apparently, not only is the shoes eye catching, but they are also an engineering mystery.'' This is evident since it is certainly a wonder how any woman, regardless of how talented she is, will be able to wear these shoes for more than a few minutes.

As you can see from the above pictures, yes the shoes are jaw dropping gorgeous, but again I don't know if I can put my feet through such pain
