But what's this?? Flats and little black boots on every patron in attendance. For shame! If any indie were to set foot in this exhibit, it would be at minimum in a 6 inch heel. Kids, these shoes are not just for celebrities. But walk at your own risk.

The Alexander McQueen Armadillo heels need no explanation.

Commissioned by Printemps for an Alice in Wonderland shoe for their window homage to Tim Burton's film, Nicholas Kirkwood scoured garage sales up and down the UK for all the adorning trinkets.

Christian Louboutin designed these for Rodarte, and Victoria Beckham picked them up around That Extra Half Inch time in the world. Now we need an extra 4 inches to keep satisfied.

Chau Har Lee infuses her love of sculpture and textile into an architectural feat.

These golden plates of Gareth Pugh future kick shone on Beyonce in the epic Run the World (Girls) video.

Designed by Rupert Sanderson, these sculptures held Princess Amneris up on high in Verdi's Aida at The Royal Opera House in London last year. Made for stepping on the little people beneath you.

On the right are a pair of vintage Nina Ricci floating heels, leant from the closet of Daphne Guinness. In the middle, are the 8-inch Christian Louboutin ballet shoes. On the left, a shoe that crushes all in its path. See next.

Ice isn't necessary to fall on your face in these thrilling boots. Put a 6 1/2 inch stiletto heel on a curved metal bottom and expect to slip. At least the soles are rubber.

Supposedly these are easy to walk in, but we have our doubts. Hear ankles go snap, crackle, pop as legs forget they are actually walking on alien geometry. Whatever, we're still brave enough to try them.

Don't lean back... at all. Walk on 8 inches of air and you may go flying, even though we trust JC with our gams always.

Go Go Gadget Shoes. You better plan on moon walking after stepping up on 26 inches because treading in the gravity-filled atmosphere is not a wise choice. If you're a professional stilt walker in the circus, we dare you.

All sorts of rain? More like all sorts of pain when one of these Urushi lacquered horn heels goes right through your flesh. Sorry, it's gross but true, even though these foot sculptures are true works of art.

You know times are tough when they're snatching the heels right out from under us. Channel your inner ballerina and walk on your toes, or this angelic-looking pair could turn on you.

Just hand me a sheet of the scrap metal over there. Yeah, that will do for these. One misstep and these paper thin plane heels could wobble right out from underneath you.

Roll on in, right into your grave with this humongous wooden geometry experiment. The glue holding the bootie to the platform looks mighty shady - don't step on broken glass when your toes have to fend for themselves.

Watch out Kirkwood, Louboutin, Blahnik…Chau Har Lee has you beat on all accounts, including innovation, design, and originality.

Thanks FWD for finding this designer
