God Save McQueen


Alexander McQueen was one of my favourite designers, and probably like many of you I was distraught by the news of his death just over a year ago. McQueen's death was such a shock to everyone as He was at the peak of his career but sadly he couldn't cope with the death of his mother who had passed away just days before and it is believed this is the cause of his suicide.

I bought this t-shirt not long after he died firstly because i loved the design and secondly as i wanted a reminder that i could keep untill I'm old!


Plato's Atlantis was probably one of my favourite collections by Alexander McQueen; it completely blows me away every time I see it. The collection was such a revolutionary asset to the fashion industry as it uses Show Studio technology pioneered by Nick Knight which allowed the entire show to be recorded and streamed to the public live from Paris (you can view the video here). The atmosphere he created was immense and the clothing was exquisite, his death was an absolute tragedy to the industry.

 Here are a few designs from the collection:



Quite recently at a Jungle themed party i tried my best to re-create the Plato's Atlantic look and this is what i came up with :

Apparently you don't get McQueen Serpants in the Jungle... but in my world you do! Sorry that the picture's a little bit blury, it was taken on a mobile.

I was a little bit sceptic about another designer taking over from McQueen and carrying on with the McQueen brand but creative director Sarah Burton has been doing an amazing job and is even rumoured to be designing Kate Middleton's wedding dress.

Hope you have all been having a good week, i'm so glad theres only one more day untill the weekend! I have a surprise planned for tomorrow night for me and my boyfriend, so hopefully it all goes ok! I'll be sure to let you all know how its goes :) Happy Thursday

Lots of Love
