One would think that animal leather was the be-all and end-all when it comes to classy fashion designs, but no, someone had to use human skin. That is exactly what happened in Montreal, Canada.

Fecal Matter is also planning shorter and more affordable Skin Heels since $10,000 is too high a price just to look like a victim of the Chernobyl incident. What do you think though? Prada or nada? Feel free to discuss below.
