The loss of Alexander McQueen to the fashion world last month has, and will continue to send shockwaves through the fashion industry. Innovative, unconventional and inspirational, his role in the modern fashion world was one of a pioneer, never afraid to experiment, and always delivering spectacular results.
And in recent years his collaborations with Puma had provided some very eye-catching and interesting shoes that combined conceptual design with a great understanding of how kicks should look and function.
The above shots are of a very rare Alexander McQueen Ribcage sample shoe that I was lucky enough to be recently given by a Sydney PR company. The skeleton inspired design is intended to replicate the human body with the ribcage style design giving support to the shoe's side panels and a silver pendant tooth accessory giving another link to the shoe's animal inspired inspiration.
McQueen's collections were always unexpected and unique and these shoes are no exception which is why they will take pride of place in my collection.
