“I’m obsessively opposed to the typical.”
-Lady Gaga
There once was a man, London born, who won British Designer of the Year four times in a span of eight years. As head designer and successor of John Galliano at LVMH, he called the company’s founder “irrelevant.” His runway shows have included a human chess game, a shipwreck and a double-amputee model that strut her stuff on intricately carved wooden legs.
He’s been called “the hooligan of English fashion.” He is shock jock Howard Stern, Sharon Stone’s cooter in “Basic Instinct.” He shocks – and he pleases.
Alexander McQueen is an incredible designer that is my absolute favorite in the fashion realm. I’m always pleased with every collection, but his Fall 2009 one just blew me out of the water.
It probably doesn’t help that I’m a red/black combination kind of girl and I have a tinge of goth to my personal style. Barring all that, the structured head pieces are enough to carry this collection alone. And this gown is stunning. I hate birds, but I’ll take them on a dress like this any day.
I have no idea what this poor woman is covered in, but it looks incredible.
Check the whole thing out. It’s worth a look.
