I got up this morning and the first thing I read was an article about Alexander McQueen - a very respected designer. So immediately I was compelled to write and share with you about this wonder of a designer. Fired up my laptop, haven't eaten my breakfast yet but wanting so much to blog about him. Here it is....
The great one - Alexander McQueen or a.k.a Lee McQueen to his friends had taken runway shows to a new level. For his Spring/Summer 2010 RTW collection, he live streamed his runway show. Audiences at the venue were mesmerized by his creative use of the digital world. As models were trotting down the runway, robotic (or remotely controlled) cameras running parallel on both sides of the runway followed each model and captured the details, textures of his clothes while projecting those images on a large screen which acted as the backdrop for the runway. Hard to imagine? Then go over to style.com and click on his s/s 2010 video.
Alexander McQueen committed suicide after being so devastated by the death of his mother whom he loved so much. His death was such a great loss to the fashion industry and many insiders were wondering what would become of his company and the brand. Great thing is, the management had vowed to continue with the brand under the hands of his assistants who have been working very closely with him.
Before his death, he completed 80% of the F/W 2010 collection. (I have included some pictures of this collection for you to enjoy.)
This gold jacket the model is wearing was made entirely of gold coloured feathers. Amazing!
