With the news of Alexander McQueen's death, fashionistas everywhere can't help but recall the hellacious heels and out-of-this-world outfits this talented young designer brought to the industry. I've clustered together an assortment of high heels, dangerous boots and avant-garde stilettos to celebrate Alexander McQueen's memory.
Which of these hellacious heels is your favorite? Mine are the shimmery Alexander McQueen lobster claw shoes from last season.
Implications - The majority of products within society today have been reproduced or made into generic models. Products that push boundaries and offer consumers new alternatives will appeal to those looking for unknown experiences. Unconventional products will be much more likely to attract consumers than those that appear similar to everything else avaialble on the market.
