Do you think you can walk in really high heels? I mean really high.
Even seasoned supermodel Agyness Deyn couldn’t. Despite all the practice she’s had from working as a model for years, she met her match in a pair of 7-inch Burberry shoes.
The insanely high strappy sandals caused Agyness Deyn to fall and almost break her ankle during Naomi Campbell’s Fashion For Relief Haiti event during New York Fashion Week last Friday.

Walking down a 50-meter-long runway is by no means a dangerous affair, but that foot angle looks extremely painful.

Props to Agyness for staying graceful and smiling throughout her ordeal and for taking off those ridiculous shoes after her second fall (yes, she fell twice!):

Agyness Deyn’s embarrassing situation wasn’t all for naught, though. Her two-time tumble actually brought more attention to Naomi Campbell‘s Fashion For Relief Haiti event.
Shortly after the incident, Aggy tweeted, “1st show of fashion week! Took a tumble! Got up! Fell again. Should have stayed down the 1st time. Twice! WTF! Ouch my knees!”
Despite the mishap, Agyness Deyn was able to laugh it off and continued with the show (Credit: Mr Blue / WENN / Flashpoint)
Even if sales for those Burberry platform shoes take a nosedive too, hopefully, it helped bring in more money for Haiti relief.
