Alexander McQueen

Lately it seems that Alexander McQueen is everywhere and for great reason, he is an amazing designer. He not only designs beautiful clothing but he also designs amazing couture fashion that is very ahead of its time and season. He puts detail and thought into his clothing making it unlike anyone out in the industry today. He is definitely a leader in the fashion world.

Alexander McQueen was born Lee Alexander McQueen but later dropped the Lee from his name as advised by a friend as it was more fashion friendly. He soon discovered he loved fashion as he designed dresses for his sisters at a very early age. He later worked at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design as a pattern cutter but later became a student as the head mistress saw his talents and convinced him to attend the school where he earned his masters. Alexander McQueen is known for his lavish and unconventional shows as you will see later in pictures....

First in his resort collection 2010 is the Kelli Lumi, this is my favorite piece of the collection it is not simple by any means but it looks so easily wearable. It seems to be a new take on a classic A-line dress





Alexander McQueen went on to debut his Spring 2010 RTW (ready to wear) line named "Platos Atlantis" while it has had mixed reviews from critics, I found it simply amazing. Lady Gaga debuted her new single Bad Romance during the live viewing which made the site crash however it brought a whole new audience to watch McQueens line bringing in a new demographic with Lady Gaga seemed to get his name out there even more. Although nothing in this collection is really RTW they are all intricately detailed pieces of reptile and digital print. He also introduced a 10 inch heel called the McQueenadillos which people are now trying to get a hold of. He is not mass producing them but may auction off the ones used in the show for charity. Furthermore as mentioned Lady Gaga also wore the fashions of Platos Atlantis in her Bad Romance video proving that McQueen is one fashion forward SOB. Just take a look for yourself...
















Here are the images from Gaga's Video... I must admit this video and the fashions in the video made me start to like her...but shhh don't tell anyone













And remember fashion is a way of expression. You may not love it or like it but you have to at least appreciate it
