Remembering McQueen #5

Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel designer: “I found his work very interesting and never banal. There was always some attraction to death, his designs were sometimes dehumanized. Who knows, perhaps after flirting with death too often, death attracts you.” (E!)

Remembering McQueen #4

Andre Leon Talley, Vogue editor-at-large: “It is a great loss. It’s a tragedy for the fashion world. He was truly an innovator and a master. McQueen had incredible talents and gifts and at the same time, he was a great poet. There are very few poets left.” (Wall Street Journal)

One more time Alexander McQueen

No more dark, romantic fairytales.

No more beautiful tailored clothes.

No more amazing runway productions.

No more fighting for invitations.

No more stunning strong women on ultra high heels.

No more imagination without limits.

Alexander McQueen (1969-2010)

Kids Frontrow – Amsterdam Fashion Week

All those busy mothers/fashion-pro’s, they take their job serious. They work, no matter what, even during the weekend. And no nanny’s or babysitters, they just take their kids to the shows.  And so tomorrow’s fashionpro’s are born. Or paparazzi, there was this cute little girl who took pictures from every vip sitting frontrow at the show of Supertrash.

backstage world ss2010: tension

It’s a whole different world backstage at the fashionshows. A world of fun, excitement and creativity. Today: backstage at Christian Dior, where John Galliano  takes a zip of champagne while the rest is waiting for the show to end.

groupielove, the end

In his time away in New York, Williamson learned something about putting on a show. Honed by exposure to that city’s demand for brevity in design, his show in London was a much more focused, slim-contoured collection consisting of leather-inserted polished-linen sheath dresses, super-skinny pants, and paper-bag-waisted shorts.
