Tuesday March 9th, small groups of editors gathered at a salon in Paris to view the last collection of Lee Alexander McQueen.
There will never be another show like this ever again….yes, they can find a new designer for the Alexander McQueen brand, but there will never be another Alexander McQueen.
McQueen used inspiration from artists like Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes, Sandro Boticelli, and Jean Fouquet the way that people will use him as inspiration. A lot of these dresses also remind me of Queen Elizabeth 1 and other great royalty from Europe.
Given that this show looks like it was made for English royalty, all I want to scream is long like mcQUEEN.
I am truly saddened and was just reminded why.
