Models Bruise Their Feet

You know how it goes at fashion week: models running from show to show, clothes get pulled on and off, shoes never fit properly, walking up and down catwalks. Anyway, after a whole month of shoe hell—wearing super-high, not-your-own, two-sizes-too-small, pain-inducing footwear? This is what models feet look like. Yup. This photo was taken at the Louis Vuitton show in Paris. No, those are not stains on the model's feet. Those are bruises. [Styleite]
