Shoe Trends
Skyscraper Heels
Few Fall items were as buzzed about as Olivier Theyskens' otherworldly, sky-high shoes for his final collection at Nina Ricci. At 8-inches high, the goth-meets-space age creations were impossible not to notice. At Alexander McQueen, where typical theatrics were in full-effect, footwear rose to equally eye-catching as well as towering heights. Shoes reached such high altitudes across the board at this past fashion week that The Cut embarked on an on-camera, Manhattan sidewalk test run of the season's most awe-inspiring and fear-inducing styles. Fortunately no one fell. Models on a handful of FW09 catwalks weren't so lucky.
