mcqueen's final collection

a mystifying, gorgeous, expertly detailed and crafted final collection from alexander mcqueen. an even greater testament to the artist we've lost. his couture embellishments are exquisite, and i adore his continuation of the other worldly/reptilian inspiration.

the final mcq

these images are from alexander mcqueen's final collection: "McQ," featuring the delightfully expressive model, yuri plesku. infused with the punk aesthetic so well-known by mcqueen, combined with dashing men's separates that speak poignantly of british elegance, it's sad to know that these are the last looks we'll ever receive from the brilliant, iconic designer.

clements rebeiro

i love this clements rebeiro collection, from british designers suzanne clements and inacio rebeiro. i love how kitschy it is, how gilded, drapery-esque and slightly tacky some of the looks are. tacky chic, with all sorts of shine. and yet it's so wearable - upon looking at the slideshow, i instantly wanted all of the separates, and to own those bizarrely unattractive slouchy boots in every color.  and that sequined heart blazer! it's unbelievably tacky. and i just love it to pieces. 

those damn brits. they get to have so much fun.
