And Now, 3D-Printed Stilettos: "Exoskeleton" Collection by Janina Alleyne

I’m not sure if these are the kind of shoes that you can, you know, wear, but Janina Alleyne‘s “Exoskeleton” collection is clearly a case of form over function… in keeping with the majority of haute couture. Which is not to say that they’re not spectacular, but rather that each of the three prototypes might properly be considered as sculptural objects as opposed to wearable ones.

As if six-inch heels aren’t vertiginous enough, I don’t know if I’d trust that additively-layered dragon claw to support any weight…

The other two styles are a little more reasonable, with the wedge heel; along with the white leather straps, they seem far more practical.
