Shoe fascination has gone raving mad!..... but architecturally complex! . I was really trying so hard to ignore the urge to pen my critic thoughts on the latest shoe offering. But ignoring it... just seems too absurd. Any raving fashionista lover would have to have his/ her five cents opinion about these foot forms.
Born from the creatively, artistic brain of Master designista Alexander McQueen. His latest foot form offerings... are self titled 'Alien' shoes... a very befitting name if I say so myself. Alien - out of this world, not belonging... scientific..., odd form. These are the exact words that come to my mind... when I think of Alien.The Alien shoe is odd form... you can also say out of this world.. and as for belonging???? hmmmm, preferrably belonging in an unknown place.
Mr McQueen first introduced his Alien creations in his latest SS 09/ 010 collection.... more so as a statement art piece to accompany his said creations. But unexpectedly Mr McQueen received a flood of emails from obviously endearing and fashion obsessed fashionista's who 'seriously wished to purchase a pair of Alien shoes'. May I ask to wear to where?????
Madam me.. Alexandra E. would be more inclined to use a pair of Alien foot forms as a displaying work of art!... or perhaps a vase??? Beautiful to admire in an odd element... but not practical to adorn!... but then again, high end fashion generally does not sport 'practicality'. Definitely making history in the fashion industry..... McQueen may just as well have raised the bar for Jimmy Choo, Castle and Blahnik etc........................... Shoe wear has gone architecturally looney! My critic tongue says.... although too unbelievable to be placed beside my collection of foot forms.... the alien shoe however could be considered as a very expensive fashionable art collectible!..... I believe the Alien shoe will become a rare collectible in many many years to come. So if your purse strings are long enough and wide enough... then invest in an 'Alien'.... just for the sake of collecting 'ART'.... My prediction?... this 'Alien' footform would never be publicly worn on the streets of the norm....but will definitely be worth a mint.. in many decades to come.

P.S. surely the Alien foot forms come with a 'BEWARE'/'WARNING' sign/ tag????... something along the lines of:
BEWARE - Congratulations for purchasing your first Alien, proceed with extreme caution. Not recommended to be worn on the feet.. except if only sitting, lying down or leaning against something that will bare the weight of the Alien. Please check with a medical specialist first if their is sufficient ankle/ foot bone sturdiness.. to adorn the Alien'.
Oh yes... I think there should also be an instructions list for the Alien:
INSTRUCTIONS - Make sure there is sufficient feet grip before adorning an Alien. Lift each feet with all your might and height... ...lift and bend the knee. And stomp your way around. Mwah xo.
