Words can't describe how genius Alexander McQueen's artistic designs were. Not only the beautiful and theatrical pieces, his shows were spectacular too. His talent will remain in our memories as one of the best designer from this century.
McQueen was a figure of extraordinary talent. And Without his exceptional tailoring skills- a ripe combination of training and talent, his visions would have remained just that: dreams unable to be realised in three-dimensional form on the runway. McQueen's masterful wielding of needle and thread allowed him to execute his avant-garde designs with such exceptional craftsmanship.
His aggressive aesthetics and darkness, where themes such as witchcraft, rape and capital punishment were unearthed and then recast into things of sartorial beauty. A visionary who never lost his sense of child-like wonder, whose appetite remained unchecked by commercial ambitions- an artist in every sense of the world.
He was genius!

Sarah Burton has done an amazing job with the company but nobody can replace him. A genius. x
ReplyDeleteEven now, it still feels like such a raw loss.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people say he walked the line between art and fashion. I kind of feel that he *erased* that line. He was the first person who enabled those who are *not* directly involved/interested in fashion to talk about it in the same breath as art and to see the artistry inherent within it.
I think it's truly magical that those who marvelled at his work will never tire of looking at it. Ever. Ever. :)
I know every time I see all the stuff he created I feel inspired.
Deletehe's amazing, some of his pieces bring me to tears because they are so beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteI know, I love the dramatic and dark side of it too:)
