Trends: Pops of colour, mainly in yellow and red; Wide legged trousers; shiny patent fabrics; and structured tailoring, especially in large statement coats.

Accessory Overload at Saks Fifth Avenue

I go through phases of wanting insane amounts of jewellery, rings mainly. I seem to have hit another one now, hard.
Browsing the Saks Fifth Avenue website last night I came across these.

Insane Alexander McQueen Knuckle Duster Ring

Beautiful skull bangle and leather belt skull wrap bracelet. The one below is my favourite, I fall hard for anything that has that beautiful oil slick colour.

Really like this weird cheese-grater cuff by Alexis Bittar

Beautiful molten gold cuff also by Alexis Bittar

Arty Oval Rings by Yves Saint Laurent. Which colour do you guys prefer? I can’t decide… I’m thinking the blue is more timeless? I want them both!

Alexander McQueen’s final collection

Alexander McQueen’s truly magnificent final collection.
Only 16 looks were shown out of the usual 30/40, these were the looks that McQueen had 80% finished before he tragically died 4 weeks ago. Each piece had been cut on the stand by Lee McQueen himself and completed by the design team in time for the A/W 2010 show.
There were no grand theatrics this time, the collection was simply shown in a chic Parisian drawing room. It was a perfectly elegant setting for the collection which was inspired Byzantine art and early dutch renaissance painters.

Images of cherubs and the Madonna appeared digitally printed on dresses, rich, gold thread was embroidered over scarlet silk and there was an entire coat made out of gold feathers worn over one of several floor-skimming white gowns.
