Ok ok, I normally do not follow a post after someone else has but OMG when I saw these I nearly died. Seriously. I died for like 3 minutes and Alex came to me and said he wanted me to take over his fashion house. oh wait, that was just another one of my fashion hallucinations. :)
However, if you have been reading my blog you know that Alexander McQueen is my all time favorite fashion designer since his Widows of Culloden Collection RTW Fall 06. I became a die-hard fan while completing my Bachelor's degree in Fashion Merchandising and we had to do a project on a fashion designer. He made me fall in love with fashion and art. Every time I want to throw in the towel on my make-up dream I think of McQueen.
Since his death I have been sad. I mean really sad. That man was an artist of textiles and there's been a void in the art as well as fashion world since his death. Even now, when I do a photo shoot and I take out my McQueen by Mac Mineralize Gold Powder, there is a hush in the room. And then I saw THESE and I nearly cried.
Who'd have thought up KNUCKLE CLUTCHES but Alexander McQueen? It is definitely Street Chic. You look hot walking through the hood carrying your $1300 clutch, then someone tries to mug you and you beat the shit out of them with your clutch turned brass knuckles. The man was a genius.
Sigh, in death AMcQ is still winning. Enjoy the sheer artistry of these bags. And my fave show by him...
