Those infamous heels by Alexander McQueen--you know, the [impossibly high ones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops) that had models like Abbey Lee Kershaw and Sasha Pivovarova refusing to walk in his S/S 2010 show--make an appearance in ‘Attack the Prophets’ in [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-care) Nippon.

Photographed by Matt Irwin, model Bregje Heinen is decked in electric shades and layers of gold necklaces by [Peace Treaty for &#8216](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-at-peace-skincare);Attack the Prophets’ in Vogue Nippon. The editorial is featured in the February 2010 issue of the Japanese magazine.

Aside from McQueen, fashion editor Aurora Sansone styled the spread using outfits with attention-grabbing prints and eye-popping color from Versace, Blumarine, Etro, Gucci, Miu Miu and Balenciaga. Heinen definitely exudes hipster cool in the semi-80s-inspired editorial.
