Alexander McQueen Retrospective

Today the shocking news of Alexander McQueen’s death was announced on radio 1 to a silent studio of fashion students, everyone gasped in unison and my heart actually felt like it had stopped briefly.
Something I never contemplated happening happened, fashion feels like it lost some of it’s sparkle today.
Here is a collection and my favourite McQ outfits.


RIP Alexander McQueen
You shall be deeply missed by everyone that you inspired and astounded

Spot the Difference

Singer Kelis at the Annual Data Awards / Sea Monkeys ad
I cannot actually believe how spot on this is!
First of all, when I saw the outfit on Grazia a couple of days ago, I couldn’t believe my eyes! How could any body have got Givenchy and McQueen so wrong? But now I understand! She was obviously trying to replicate the sea monkey adverts of the 90’s!
Your not Gaga Kelis! And even Gaga wouldn’t attempt this.
And just to clear it up, yes that IS a pink latex cut out jumpsuit she’s wearing, complete with fish scales…

There has been so many amazing shoes this summer (and some not so amazing) but these were all amazing! My all time favourites were Givenchy… and Alexander McQueen… and Rodarte!
Arghhh I love them all! The Jil Sander beetle green shoes with the incredible heels took my breath away also! They remind me of the James Long show, the colour is incredible. My new favourite colour maybe!
