ALEXANDER MCQUEEN - After is tragic passing on February 11, many (including us) wondered what would be the fate for the amazing design house. While a new designer was appointed a few weeks ago, the collection shown for fall 2010 was purely Lee McQueen, and the whole 16 piece collection was a fitting tribute to a legendary designer. Known for putting on quite a show (when he showed his spring 2010 line, his website crashed because of the amount of people trying to see it and hear Lady GaGa's new song), and each collection never failed. Over the years, his collections have amazed me, as well as fashion critics, for his mastery of couture craftsmanship within a ready-to-wear line. This collection uphold every expectation i had, and when i first saw the 16 pieces i was awestruck by the beauty of each garment. Ranging from a red satin dress with gold embroidery to a gown complete with a golden feather bodice and embroidered tulle skirt, it lived up to its renaissance-meets-byzantine influence. The fabric used was even more fabulous - if you look closely on the second dress posted, you can see pictures of angels, demons, and cherubs screen printed onto it. Together, the collection was a masterpiece, and it's too hard to choose favorites. Gorgeous and completely breathtaking, Alexander McQueen's final collection was truly a smash.
