Sarah Burton amazes us by capturing the true essence of McQueen

 After having a look at the wonderfully amazing runaways from Sarah Burton for McQueen, nobody can deny : She was the perfect choice to take over the reign of King Alexander McQueen.
The best part, in our opinion, were the headpieces. We'd love to see someone brave enough to rock that to a premiere or event!
Each look was like a dream come true , light and disturbing at the same time , a mermaid meet a princess, a villain evil Queen  meets Hi society fashionista...

Congrats to Sarah Burton : a Queen is born !

Brilliant !!!!! Alexander McQueen - Fall Winter 2011/2012 Full Fashion Show (Exclusive)

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition will be held at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute and will be launched by this year's Met Ball on May 2.

Quote of the day - Sarah Burton

"People ask: what's Sarah about? But I've worked here for so long, there's been a big part of me in those collections all along the way. I'm not going to wipe the slate clean. That would be wiping me away. There will always be those McQueen elements, but at the same time, you can never stay still and you have to stay true to yourself. That's what Lee drummed in to me: you have to be able to stand behind your work."

Alexander McQueen - New collection - Spring 2011 Details

He is truly missed but his genius can still be found in this amazing new collection ... Good job Sarah Burton ...
She has managed a new collection of accessories, spring-summer 2011 not only fully preserving the aesthetics of McQueen’s, but also bringing a little more feminine notes. In place of miniature skulls as decorative elements, which McQueen graced even for the evening clutches, came to an exquisite floral motif and decorative netting

Karl Shoots Salma For V Spain

V Spain's winter issue features Salma Hayek on the cover along with a strategically placed V that immediately draws the viewer's eyes to her chest.
The booblicious actress was shot by Karl Lagerfeld wearing the same plated Alexander McQueen Resort dress that Anna Paquin wore to the Emmys.
We love the dress, but that's about it. They should have laid off the photoshop.

Alexander McQueen Exhibit to come... Brilliant !

The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is giving the public a chance to see Alexander McQueen's work up close and personal with a new exhibit.
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty will include designs from the McQueen archives beginning with his graduate show at Central Saint Martins to his final collection from earlier this year as well as pieces from Daphne Guinness and Isabella Blow's private collection.
CEO of the McQueen label Jonathan Akeroyd said:
"We felt it would be a great opportunity to show Lee's work and his incredible contribution to the world of fashion and art. It felt like the right thing to do. Lee loved the museum. It will give us a great opportunity to show Lee's work and the Alexander McQueen brand to a much broader community. It's the greatest tribute and important for his legacy, but it's also an exciting new chapter in the history of the brand."
McQueen's pieces will be on display from May 4th to July 31th, with a launch at the Costume Institute Gala on May 2nd.
Sounds like a great and must see event!

Brokedown Palace ....

A wispy blond takes a break from the world – and a wrong turn into an abandoned building in the City Hall area of downtown Manhattan – but she’s tough enough to face it alone. Armed with tough accessories and bad-girl eyeliner, Alexandra Richards is a goth warrior strutting her stuff against a decaying background. Whether she’s leaning on an ornate barrister or preening against peeling paint, stylist Elle Werlin brings out the best in Richards’ romantic, edgy style with Louis Vuitton, Missoni, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier and more.

The reality TV star and business woman wore the limited edition heels while out in NYC. She then took to her blog and posted:
“How insane are these Iris Van Herpen shoes!?! They are the result of a collaboration between United Nude and Iris Van Herpen and I think they are just soooo amazing!”
But don’t get too excited. If you’re interested in the heels, they retail for $1,295!

Sarah Burton's womanswear designs stay true to the McQueen style, but add a softer, more feminine element... we love it !

Sarah Burton, who inherited the mantle at Alexander McQueen after the designer tragically took his own life last March, showed her first collection at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday. Burton’s collection included dramatic elements, from layers of feathers to daring silhouettes. According to reviewers, she managed to both maintain McQueen’s signature look and bring her own touches. The Guardian called Burton’s inaugural show “unmistakably the house of McQueen, but there were new, more feminine shapes too.”

Burton's designs for the spring was very nature inspired, using feathers and butterflies for many of the pieces.
We're sure Lee would love his successor's work !!

Well done BB !
