   !!!!! Third photo from the top! She’s wearing those AMAZING ORGASMIC heels that Lady Gaga wears in Bad Romance! WHO MAKES THOSE!? I’m curious of how many thousands they cost! And I want to see them in better detail!

   All of these shoes are very striking. I’d be interested to know who made them too :3

   I’m quite sure that those platform heels in the third picture are by Alexander McQueen. They look like the ones from his Ready-To-Wear spring ’10 show.

   The combination of Tim Walker and Alexander McQueen is just… Unf.

   Agreed, the McQueen shoes in the third pic are Most God.

   I’ve always been a big fan of glacial glamour—glistening white powder make-up, the notion of a “Snow Queen,” the paradox of how a “white-out” is something overwhelming & dark…

   From the art direction to the outfits in the third and fourth images: pieces of perfect, yes:

   But the double-entendre of this editorial’s title & text accompanying it?

   “China White…Handle With Care”?

   Siiiick—& equal parts subtle & overt.

   (For the more pure at heart, so to speak: Type “China White”—in quotation marks, obviously—in a google search. Neither the first definition nor the first image result has to do with fine dining wear.)

   “Handle With Care,” indeed.

   The whole spread is so magical. I love how all the elements came together.
