The windows at Bergdorf are intricate, impressive and memorable this
year. More photos and descriptions of those windows to follow. But for
now, let’s discuss these FIERCE thigh high boots in the window. I dub
them the
Louboutin Sandals Sale Stegosaurus Boots for the pointy spine of pyramid spikes lining not only the back of the boot, but also the back of the heel.
Houndstooth is Alexander McQueen’s statement of the year. Artfully
draped, it makes a fine Scottish statement (the history of houndstooth
purports it to be a wool cloth originating in the Scottish lowlands, and
McQueen has mined his Scottish history before).
McQ rarely does anything that doesn’t make a statement, but are these
boots, with their spike heel, pyramid spikes lining the entire back of
the boot and the heel, wild yet classic pattern, and skintight fit, too
much?
Does the mono effect of matching the boots to the rest of the outfit make for houndstooth overkill? Or would you wear
Louboutin Boots Sale these every day if you could?
Inside the store, in the Shoe Salon, I found that the boot was available
in black. A little less wild, but somehow I liked it less.
When I was at Bergdorf, in the flurry of picture-taking, I neglected to
ask the price on these carnivorous stegosaurus boots. So I called today,
and the sales rep said they didn’t have them anymore — that they had
been “sent back to the vendor.” (I got this image of Alexander McQueen’s
office getting a box that said “RETURN TO SENDER” with a ton of spiky
boots crumpled inside).
Did they get sent back because they weren’t moving units, or because
they were defective somehow, or why? Why would they send extra shoes
Manolo Blahnik Knockoffs back when they’re still in the window through the holidays? Surely people will be asking for them.
She did say that they were in the realm of $1000, which is MUCH less than I was expecting. I wonder if she’s right.
