McQueen: Legacy 3 (Shoes)

I'm not sure words can justify these shoes. In fact words fail me. This collection of Alexander McQueen’s was featured in an earlier post. I felt, though, that these shoes deserved a post of their own. They are alien, reptilian and seem to draw on these sci-fi influences with the materials. I'm a little in awe, can you tell?

McQueen: Legacy 2

The selection below are taken from Alexander McQueen's Fall 2010, Ready to Wear collection. This season was among his most theatrical, glamorous and awe-inspiring.

The great loss of his passing was made all the more evident in the artistry of these garments. I will leave it to others to catalogue his achievements. For now, I'll continue to admire these garments. They say so much about where he could have gone, and importantly, where he had come from.

McQueen: Legacy 1

I've always adored Alexander McQueen's work. His virtuoso use of materials, from silk to latex and anything in between, it is nothing short of awe inspiring. But enough lyrical waxing. The piece pictured here are a catalogue (in the early stages) of McQueen's diverse use of materials. And a homage to his legacy cut short.
