SHOES THAT COULD CUT ICE

Sarah Burton is taking the McQueen spirit and making it her own, these shoes give me the shivers SHIVERS.

Fur was a focus for this collection, used as an accent on shoulders, cuffs, jackets and skirts. Leather harnesses, zips and shiny metal headband are the stands out of the sublime collection.

Here I am, The Ice Queen I do resemble something from a dream I look like something you’ve never seen...............

Tiny Tribute to Alexander McQueen

15 Apr 2010

It's still very sad, to think of Alexander McQueen's tragic demise, but I wanted to share with you all my white and gold Alexander McQueen coat I purchased back in 2004 during my uni days. This is still currently one of my favourite items in my wardrobe today. (Although I still need to wear it more often!) Slap on the wrist time It has this detailing in a gold piping and small eyelets with strings conjoining the top bodice and bottom bodice together, with a showing of scattering pieces of lace strings.

I thought I'll take a few snap shots of my muse Jou Jou Hyena wearing the coat, note it is probably more of a closer fit to myself, due to being slightly bigger than on my sister, and I thought I'll team the coat up with some new white wedges I requested from a friend of mine from Tokyo.

Alexander Mcqueen Puma Wedge ○ Yumumu

I would like to think I could be a SMIDGE of a sophistic-at when It comes to putting one step forward & another with some tasty high heels on, but it seems that's just not included in my genetic make-up! But wedges overall for the past year have been a god send! I have discovered I am capable of walking on the shiny (slippy) glossy floors, even on a wet rainy day!

The Alexander McQueen Puma black elevate wedges would be perfecto, for those half sport but chic moments and combine them with some white knee high socks and I'm hyena happy :) These were on sale at OAK but seem to have sold out.

YUMUMU

YU, MU, MU is mandarin for 'Rain, Wood, Wood'

YUMUMU, a fashion label based in Singapore by Yilin Lu, dresses are the staple for Yumumu's wardrobe and designs are produced in small quantities to ensure their uniqueness.Their elemental nature echoes the undated appeal of the designs. Her passion for ‘moulding, draping and sculpting garments that bring alive the peculiarities of the wearer, drawing her inspiration not from fleeting trends but shifting ideas that are often overlooked'.

The first image above, from the collection reminds me of a delicate piece of origami.

Long Live McQueen

Death Leaves a Heartache No One Can Heal, Love Leaves a Memory No One Can Steal

I just couldn't make a post today without giving tribute to Lee Alexander McQueen. Any morsel thing related to Fashion Art Design, floods forward to my mind the tragic death of Lee and I'm sure its the same for many others.

Gone Too Soon

With much sadness Alexander McQueen was found dead today at his London home after committing suicide. I’m shocked and saddened with the loss and because you never realize how big of a part fashion, designers, art, can be in life, and then thinking about how his nearest and dearest must be suffering right now, is further saddening, my prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

Your art and stunning visionary will be heartachingly missed - You'll Never Walk Alone................

Alexander Mcqueen combining together traditonal tailoring and eccentric textures and materials playing a large part of the collection, along with mysterious unusual techno prints and colours with the odd skull or two. The masks used on the runaway remind me of Hannibal stroke Ninja adding a mysterious commanding touch. The close up of the backstage photo's do not disappoint.
