Yesterday the
Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 presentation debuted to a small group of friends and fashion editors in Paris. The collection's
16 pieces had been 80% done at the time of his death. Sarah Burton, his right hand, had this to say:
"He wanted to get back to the handcraft he loved, and the things that are being lost in the making of fashion," she said. "He was looking at the Dark Ages, but finding light and beauty in it. he was coming in every day, draping and cutting pieces on the stand."
McQueen's inspiration was clearly derived from poetic
medieval beauty, the grace of the medieval Madonnas and Byzantine empresses. Each look incorporated rich colors, fabrics and gorgeous boots/booties. I couldn't take my eyes off the shoes. Beautiful black leather with gold detailing on the platform and heel. They were a wonderful compliment to the magnificent outfits. Just Beautiful. The entire collection expressed true romanticism in its intricate and delicate detail. The tailoring was simply breathtaking. Shown with the craftsmanship that McQueen was infamous for. Such a bittersweet collection. It made you both happy and sad. Happy to be in the presence of such beautiful clothes and sad because its creator is no more.
