Fashion Fame

Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 Collection unveiled at Paris Fashion Week. Alexander McQueen’s last collection consisted of sixteen outfits that were almost finished by Alexander McQueen,before his untimely death.

McQueen’s final runway show was breathtakingly beautiful and was full of religious references and gilded wings. It felt like Alexander McQueen came back to life as model started presenting the beautiful collection in a grand Paris drawing room with soaring white ceilings.

Everyone in fashion world was anxious to see Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 2010 Collection and just to feel talented designer’s presence once again, with his artistic work. It was a great collection offering skullcap of bandages dissected by a mohican of lacquered feathers, fierce black boots with gold angels, sculpted into heels, tight crimson bodice and pleated, ruffled skirt.

Note with wordings ‘Each piece is unique, as was he‘ was given to every spectator. The infant Jesus from Jean Fouquet’s 1450 painting of Virgin and Child could be glimpsed in folds of double duchesse satin and in a short dress tightly waisted and extravagantly swagged at hip.

Designs were heavily religious like a pale silk chiffon gown with faces of angels and wings of doves and on the back was outline of angel wings, stained glass, church-window jewelry which filled necklines of sharply cut peplum-jackets and dresses. Models looked like medieval queen with heads wrapped in cloth painted with strokes of gray and gold paint.

It was a creation deserving high accolade and lot of appreciation and praising of designer. No doubt, everyone is praising his designs but what’s missing is the man himself. Fashion world miss McQueen very much.

Black or gold ankle-boots with gold filigree soles and heels, were spectacular. His final creation that was flaunted on runway was a high-collared, long jacket, handcrafted from gold feathers and worn over a white tulle skirt scattered with gold embroidery.

McQueen wanted to prepare collection with a poetic, medieval beauty that dealt with religious iconography while recapturing memories of his own past collections. And he surely did that.
