These Alexander McQueen Alien Shoes Actually Sell!
Ok. So Lady Gaga was the first celebrity to wear one of these lobster-claws. It turned out, however, that Alexander McQueen had been inundated with calls from women who want to own a pair of these crazy footwear even before Lady Gaga debuted it on her video (below). It all started after the live web streaming of the recent Alexander McQueen's catwalk show.These lobster-claws are actually called Alien shoes. They are 10 inches high and they are part of the designer's spring 2010 collection. Apparently, they are on the current must-have list of shoe freaks and some even want to buy them as "art pieces."
"We've had lots of people showing great interest in the show's shoes... The process used to create the Alien shoes is very innovative and protected by copyright," says a McQueen spokesperson.
While the Alien shoes are designed for the rich, famous, and fashion-forward (and crazy), the label is auctioning off the sample pairs that appeared on the catwalk for charity:
"We are considering organizing a charity auction as the best way to offer them to the public."
