LF Pays Tribute In Revolting Fashion
In news that defies logic and makes our stomach turn in horror, it seems mass market retailer LF has decided to pay tribute to the late Alexander McQueen by releasing their own interpretation of his iconic armadillo shoe. And by interpretation we mean the ugliest shoe that hath ever walked.
Adding insult to potential injury the company has named the atrocious attempt to cash in on the designer’s death ”Tribute,” and according to their website, plans to donate a portion of the sales of the to a charity in his honor.
Of course, that would require someone to actually purchase the revolting number–which we don’t recommend you do, unless you have a thing for walking around with baby rhinos on your feet. But appearances aside what irks us the most is that they stand counter to all that McQueen stood for–meaning the inaccessibility of fashion at it’s avant-garde, lobster clawed finest.
His take was not meant for chain stores, mass branding and mainstream audiences. In fact it was his defiant eschewing of the middle way that is his legacy-so to call this a tribute.
Might we recommend the company take a flip through the dictionary first? It seems like they could use a brush up on the word’s meaning.
