Savage Beauty

"For me, what I do is an artistic expression which is channeled through me. Fashion is just the medium." -Alexander McQueen

I cannot WAIT to go see McQueen's Savage Beauty exhibit at the MET when I go to NY next week. & as I have heard, I will definitely go to the gift shop FIRST!

Long Live McQueen

 

I am absolutely speechless. I don't know what excites me more: The accessories, the cuts of the dresses, the patterns? Black leather with gold hardware is my favorite. I really like how the line is staying on the darker end of the spectrum even though this is the Spring line.

It's only appropriate you play this song while looking at this post.

I really like this Puma x Alexander 'The Great' McQueen collab. I'm happy they decided to continue.

The Show Must Go On...

 

Ahhh I can let out a sigh of relief. Although Alexander The Great McQueen has passes on, his line is still going to live on with Sarah Burton at the helm. Featured above is McQueen's 2011 Cruise Line (Pre-Spring). Even though it's not as hmmm opulent as original McQueen, I still think Burton's samurai inspired line is still breathtaking.

I love this editorial because it features some of my favorite fashion houses. The first up top is the French label, Balenciaga. Lead by Nicolas Ghesquière for the past 10 years, the line was originally started by Cristóbal Balenciaga in 1937. Balenciaga is known to be unfussy, with minimal seams & cutouts.

The third photo features shoes from Alexander "The Great" McQueen. If you aren't a McQueen fan, I really have nothing to say to you. McQueen was constantly pushing boundaries with his clothing. Everytime I see one of his pieces I'm in awe. Although he has passed his clothing and shoes can still be found in music videos, red carpets, and on the covers of magazines. He was taken from this world far too early.

 Last but not least is Balmain! The best way to describe Balmain is grungy chic, and elegant all at once. Christophe Decarnin, is behind the line. Cut outs, rips and layering fabrics are trademarks of Balmain, along with leather pants, and amazingly skinny jeans. So as not to take away from a woman's femininity,  Balmain also pays close attention to draping especially in their goddess-like dresses, and features tight mini dresses. Balmain was the  inspiration behind my dress hem seen here.

Food For Thought

Just finished reading i-D's Spring issue.

"We came from water, & now with the help if stem cell technology nd cloning, we must go back to it to survive. Make no mistake, this is not sci-fi, this is evolution." - McQueen

"Love is everything. Love for a partner, but mostly love for family. It's a word I use alot at Givenchy"

- Riccardo Tisci

"Everything made sense suddenly, & it was all around us. We were the new generation, and we were old enough to create our own show, to creat our own magazine, & to try to express this difference. At the time we strongly believed in the possibility of an independent culture that could be a creative alternative to capitalism." - Oliver Zahm

"The people that inspire me are the people I have a real relationship with, my friends or people I went to school with. People I have an ongoing dialogue with that I see everyday. People on the street are so interesting to me, because they are not under the public pressure, they dress for themselves".

- Alexander Wang

Long Live McQueen

 

McQueen is in heaven,  & I'm sure Mary Magdalene is walking around in these heels.
