Alexander McQueen Shoes

When I see these shoes, I’m convinced Alexander McQueen hated women.

They look like dinosaur toenails.

That’s a perfect description…dinosaur toenails.  Gah! Hideous.

Gorgeous. I had a coat just like that, in the 70’s. Yeah, I’m that old. =) ~ waif

Elie Saab. Probably my favorite designer.

Fall RTW 2010

Alexander McQueen’s Fall Ready-to-Wear 2010

Alexander McQueen’s last works were given final honors by his trusted team in a hushed and dignified showing that went to his core as a designer who scaled the heights of couture accomplishment. Sarah Burton, his right hand, described how, in beginning this collection, McQueen had turned away from the world of the Internet, which he had so powerfully harnessed in his last show. “He wanted to get back to the handcraft he loved, and the things that are being lost in the making of fashion,” she said. “He was looking at the art of the Dark Ages, but finding light and beauty in it. He was coming in every day, draping and cutting pieces on the stand.” The 16 outfits shown had been 80 percent finished at the time of his death.

My favorite piece from the collection ~ waif
