Alexander McQueen had turned away from the world of the Internet, which he had so powerfully harnessed in his last show. "He wanted to get back to the handcraft he loved, and the things that are being lost in the making of fashion." "He was looking at the art of the Dark Ages, but finding light and beauty in it. He was coming in every day, draping and cutting pieces on the stand." The outfits shown had been 80 percent finished at the time of his death.- style.com
Those pieces are just stunning. A beautiful requiem, but so so sad.
ReplyDeleteI saw these yesterday on style.com & have to say I was breathtaken as the workmanship & design is so beautiful. Might have to post a few of my faves too because McQueen is so deserving.
