REMEMBERING MCQUEEN

Alexander McQueen - Plato's Atlantis from SHOWstudio on Vimeo.

Alexander McQueen's Plato's Atlantis collection for S/S 2010.

"We are devastated to learn of the death of Alexander McQueen, one of the greatest talents of his generation. He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen’s influence was astonishing — from street style, to music culture and the world’s museums. His passing marks an insurmountable loss."

- Anna Wintour (Vogue Editor)

Mcqueen's website is now open again in public for viewing. Plato's Atlantis lookbook is also open now for viewin in his website. Don't forget to watch Alexander Mcqueen's pay tribute video.

HERE COMES THE ARMADILLO CAMPAIGN AD

I don't know if all of you are amazed with Alexander McQueen S/S 2010 collection but I am definitely amazed with it. The shoes and dress fits perfectly with each other. Even though catwalkers Abbey Lee Kershaw, Natasha Poly and Sasha Pivovarova quit the show in protest.

These catwalker gave up for the Armadillo Heels but not for Daphne Guinness and Lady Gaga who are braved enough to work these monstrous heels sans bloodshed. Truly this Armadillo Heels created a big bang in the fashion industry.

After the show, here comes the very slithering campaign ad of Alexander Mcqueen S/S 2010. Modeled by Brazilian beauty Raquel Zimmerman who also did the Chloe Campaign. Raquel really did a good job with this shot together with her snakes or should I call them minions? Establishing a high fashion pose together with numerous snakes is not a joke. This is really shocking!
