I just heard the very, very sad new that designer Alexander McQueen has taken his own life. I've never really paid too much attention to fashion, but I recently saw a recording of his 'Plato's Atlantis' show and was completely enthralled.
Each piece is an absolute work of art and deserves to be in a gallery. Just the other day I was thinking how amazing it would be if the clothing could travel from gallery to gallery so that we all could appreciate it's exquisite beauty.
So sad.
In fact my recent feather pieces that I've been developing for musician Christina Martin were inspired by this recent show. I've designed 3 necklace styles, one, the 'Xtina' which is asymmetrical, a preference for Christina. The second is the 'Saki' which uses lots of bright colours and are very abstract, and the third are my 'Queenies” which were directly influenced by the symmetrical dresses of the Atlantis show.
I’ve been meaning to blog about Mr McQueen's show for some time now, and it greatly saddens me that it took the ending of his life to finally get around to sharing some images displaying his infinite talent.
