Tyra Banks and Andre Leon Talley strike again! In the latest installment of Fa-Fa-Fa-Fashion, Tyra's epic series devoted to fashion tips for the everyday girl, the former supermodel and Vogue personality Andre Leon Talley talk STILETTOS! And as per usual, they go a little crazy!
Here are some of the highlights from the video:
  • Blood on the runway!
  • Please do not use stilettos as a form of weaponry. Always wear your stilettos responsibly.
  • Andre: "The heel was invented in 3000 BC, but now we love the stiletto which became very very big in the '50s, especially in Italy."
  • Tyra: "The secret to the platform if that however high the platform is underneath the ball of your foot takes away from the height of the heel. So say the height of the heel is five inches...If you have an inch or an inch and a half platform, that heel is really just three and a half or three inches...Get it? It's math, baby!"
  • TIP: Create grooves on your soles to avoid shipping.
  • Tyra: "Do not do this in front of any children. Can you imagine?"
  • Andre: "Manolo Blahnik is the king of the stiletto now! As Madonna once said, 'Sometimes Manolos are better than sex!' "
  • Andre: "Fashion is a learning curve!"
