GaGa's heels can be yours in 2010!!!


The over-the-top, "Bad Romance", GaGa heels are none other that the world renown, Alexander McQueen! These 10-inch(12 at the ankle)hoof heels were previewed in 2009 but were not met with awe and wide-eyes. Instead, these monstrous heels turned the heads of their wearers in a negative way. Models Abbey Lee Kershaw, Natasha Poly, and Sasha Pivovarova banded together and quit the show after some debating over the safety of the colossal stilettos. Kershaw, after having a shoe related injury at Rodarte in September of '08, causing her to have to sit out of select Fall/Winter shows due to a knee injury, and the fiasco where she fainted after being tied into a McQueen corset during the Spring/Summer '09, decided that this was the last straw and quit the show. These mega-shoes have their good press too though.


Stephanie Joanne Angelina Germanotta, formally known as Lady GaGa, featured below, sported the heels as well as other McQueen creations in her video for "Bad Romance" earlier this year.





Another notable wearer of McQueen's creation is style icon, Daphne
Guinness. Pictured to the right is Guinness sporting her pair of
Alexander McQueen's next to François Nars at the launch party for
NARS 15x15.

Now, I've spotted these chic kicks in several colors including the python skin, nude jeweled, gold jeweled, and nude that appear here.











Other colors include this patched reptile skin pair...

















This blue cracked leather...

















This pearl covered...
















This black snake skin...


















This tan snake skin...












...this copper bubble and a distressed brass leather(not shown).

As I'm sure that, by now, you're familiar with the price range of Alexander McQueen, these heels will not be showing up in many closets this coming year. This, due, not only to the cost, but also to the discomfort and overall safety hazard of these dare devilishly dangerous kicks.

BIG EMERGENCY!!!

I'm really confused at the moment! I know I still love music but a bigger part of me is falling in love with fashion and design and I just don't know where I want to go from here! I KNOW I still want to be involved in music but all I've been able to think about lately is HOW beautiful people look in clothing. Let's just look at some pictures:


Anna Piaggi, who is one of my favorite fashion icons, always has fun with her style. She may've been featured in multiple doube-spread Italian Vogue magazines and is known as one of the world's most notable fashion writers, but her eclectic style trumps that of any other fashion icon.


Though this is not a designer, can you guess who this beautiful creation is by? Vivienne Westwood. Known for her fiery red hair, Westwood's designs surmount her simply yet saucy appearance.


Courtney Love may do cartwheels, but Betsey Johnson, who also does cartwheels, is known for the brilliant colors and sharp designs she uses. Her line has always been infused with whimsical and wild abandonment!


No, not Marcia Brady's senior homecoming dress. This retro dress was designed by the late, great Yves Saint Laurent. His remarkable life story is awe inspiring and is a testament to a full and dramatic life.


Now, we all know that the fashion industry is cut-throat. But just imagine being an Asian-American female in the fashion industry. Vera Wang has quickly climbed to the top of the fashion industry. Known by her fearless, "you fit into my design," way of life, Wang has built an empire based on fear, passion, and flawless lines.


You know him by one name and four letters. Dior. I met the current president of Christian Dior in the parfumarie in Paris in Epcot, Disney World. Christian Dior's longstanding values and his elegant designs make him a household name.


Recent show, "Say Yes To The Dress" has showcased many of the worlds most well-known as well as many of the up and coming. This gorgeous bridal gown was created by one of my favorite designers, Pnina Tornai.


Donatella Versace. Her name, alone, is a sentence that strikes fear into the heart of man. Her family is a force of nature like no other. her designs are fierce, her family is relentless, and her face is unforgettable.

Ok-that's enough for now! I can't handle anymore fashion right now! I'm about to die I want to be in fashion so bad. If I change my major, don't be surprised.

I'll ttyl later! <3
