No pain, no gain: Infamous Alexander McQueen Armadillo Boots up for auction

Armadillo Boots are rated as the most iconic shoes ever created by a designer.

Designed by Lee Alexander McQueen himself, Armadillo Boots first appeared on the runway in 2010 for his collection, Plato’s Atlantis.

These shoes are rare and only 21 pairs were ever made, as they were never intended for retail.

Needless to say, celebrities like Lady Gaga, Kelis and Daphne Guinness have been seen rocking these sophisticated boots.

On Tuesday this week, the Late McQueen’s fashion house announced that they have made three brand new pairs of handcrafted python armadillo boots that will be auctioned off to raise money for UNICEF to support Nepal’s Earthquake Relief Efforts.

The auction runs until 23^rd July 2015 and the starting bid stands at USD 10,000 (Sh1,024,995).

Fashion Lovers, now is your chance to get yourself a pair of these iconic jaw-dropping shoes while helping the Earthquake Victims in Nepal
