Last night, before the snow started causing all sorts of problems for Fashion Week, the chic people partied at a dinner in honor of Vanessa Paradis, who fronts Chanel's Rouge Coco lipstick. Daphne Guinness had no plans to change out of her standard seven-inch platforms to navigate the accumulation. "You know, the last blizzard, in December, I wore these shoes and I walked twenty blocks in them, and then I tried to walk back and it was so cold. And my best friend Robin was like, You’re going to break your neck in those shoes. And I was sliding a bit, but I have a very steady walk," she told us. "Sh*t happens. I guess I could break my neck tomorrow."
But would you expect anything less from the woman who can wear Alexander McQueen's ten-inch Alien shoes to a party? "If you look at them carefully, they’re not that tall. They’ve got a huge platform. With any shoe, you have to condition like you’re conditioning for a sport. You work out different muscles," Guinness said. "If you put me in a pair of eleven-inch stilettos without a platform, I’ll have blisters and I won’t be able to walk. There’s no way. Your bones aren’t built for that. Eight-inch with a platform, that’s easy. You know, I could map it out on a piece of paper for you and explain it to you distinctly and brilliantly, but if I do it now, I’ll sound pretentious and ridiculous." Guinness continued, "I’ve got some Ugg boots. The only problem is I feel like I’m falling backwards. My muscles just aren’t built for flats anymore."
