These pumps are classic Alexander McQueen. They juxtapose contrasting elements, and in the case of these shoes, conservative tweed paired with disturbing skull detail.

Alexander McQueen Shoes Spring 2012

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Cat

As was expected, the Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 show was the most amazing collection in every aspect, from the head pieces to the shoes. Sarah Burton proves, yet again, that she is every bit as talented as the late McQueen and a worthy ascendant. In this Spring 2012 collection, the theme was oceanic life and that translated into coral shell embellishments, fish scale patterns embossed in leather, and copper, silver and gold like a pirate’s buried treasure. All of the shoes had a curved, wedge heel, some with holes in the center, and while they are certainly unique and eye catching designs, they aren’t so over the top that anyone would shy away from wearing them. The collection should be highly successful come Spring 2012. Alexander McQueen shoes are available here.

Alexander McQueen Strass Wedge Pumps

Posted on September 1, 2011 by Cat

If anyone has the ability to bring high drama, with a flair for opulence, it’s Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. Like her predecessor, her combination of art and fashion is impeccable. These embellished wedge pumps are fit for a queen with their ornate details and one-of-a-kind look. While many jeweled sandals evoke images of dance clubs and cocktails, McQueen blended old world style with a modern flair that literally look like a crown for your feet. The velvet peep toe pump and swirling wedge is a nod to the days of yore, while the heavily embellished bead and crystal bands unmistakably crown the foot and frame the toes for an accessory more relevant to today’s royalty (Kate, anyone?).

Black velevt peep toe pumps with a dramatic swirling wedge heel, these designer shoes fall into the category of fashion as art. They have thick, heavily embellished straps that drape across the top of the foot and frame the toes (fresh pedicure implied). There is a zip closure at the back heel.
