    Alexander McQueen's 15 cm heel was the tallest during Hong Kong Fashion Week Alexander McQueen's 15 cm heel was the tallest during Hong Kong Fashion Week


    In Hong Kong, the fashion industry is reaching new heights. But the shoes still have a ways to go. The Wall Street Journal measured the tallest heels designers sent down the runway during the city's fall fashion week. The highest, an Alexander McQueen gold bootie, topped out at 15 centimeters, or a little less than six inches. Maybe we're jaded, but that's practically a flat compared to the recent shoes McQueen and others have showcased in major cities around the world.
