ALEXANDER MCQUEEN RESORT 2012

I've read a lot of mixed reviews about this collection: a lot of people seem to think that when a new designer takes over as creative director of a label, the following collections are meant to mimic those of the previous designer (which is simply impossible; designers like Alexander McQueen are simply irreplaceable). However, I think Sarah Burton's work for McQueen has been quite strong so far, and while this collection may be "safer" than usual, it does speak to the label's aesthetic and is quite lovely. It certainly is very wearable, and very chic. I love it! What do you think of Burton's collections for McQueen?

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN F/W 2010

Of course, as soon as Paris fashion week rolls around, I have a million and one things to blog about. Of course, Paris fashion week coincides with midterms... of course of course! I just happened to be stalking TFS and up comes Alexander McQueen's final collection - and how lovely it is! It's quite fair to say the man was an artistic genius, and I can only credit him as such here. The details of his clothes are nothing short of inspiring, and this last collection is absolutely gorgeous. He leaves no spot on a dress forgotten: every inch is meticulously detailed and planned. The embroidery on the first dress (and the sleeves) is absolutely amazing - I would love this as a wedding dress! I could go on and on, I'm sure, about this collection. McQueen was one of my favorite designers, and this final collection did not disappoint me (except, perhaps, in regard to size! I want more!). The fashion world's loss is truly immeasurable. RIP.
