The Plato’s Atlantis show shoes

The Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2010 Plato’s Atlantis show featured a total of 46 looks on the runway. This collection, which would tragically become McQueen’s last fully realized collection before his death in February 2010, was a tour de force of fashion innovation and creativity.

Each of the 46 looks was complemented by a pair of the collection’s signature avant-garde shoes. The shoe styles were repeated across multiple outfits, creating a cohesive visual narrative throughout the show.

The show featured three main styles of shoes:

• Armadillo shoes;
• Alien shoes; and
• Titanic shoes.

The iconic armadillo shoes were featured in 20 of the 46 show looks. The whole show featuring all of the looks can be viewed on Youtube.
