Eugenia Mandzhieva and Yulia Leontieva in Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 Lookbook
Each time I see a collection by Alexander McQueen, it always re-ignites that burning passion of mine for fashion. Right from the inside, I feel all the reasons of why I am ever interested in fashion. The Spring/Summer 2010 collection fits perfectly in the picture. Taking the theme of “Natural dis-tinction un-natural selection” to the extreme, Mr. McQueen visits a seemingly extraterrestrial territory and presents a supernatural collection that is strong and striking.

Alexander McQueen antique silver twin skull ring
We have always been swooned by Alexander McQueen’s amazing accessories collection. The latest turn-on from that sparkling pile of jewellery is this scary-looking twin skull ring (£120.00). With its glistening black evil eyes – courtesy of Swarovski’s magnificently dazzling crystals, this antique ring before our eyes gives off a hypnotic stare of death that is rather… stimulating! Dark, daring and dangerous, it is perhaps not a typical gift, but it definitely possesses the power of bewilderment that would surprise and marvel the recipient of this exquisite piece. Still not sure? Try me! Let me show you how to look death in its eye – sharp and painless.
Also available in antique gold with a poisonous purple skull from Alexander McQueen’s web store.

The Midsummer Odyssey by But-Sou Lai
Last month, we brought to you Lane Crawford’s smashing Spring/Summer 2010 publication – The Portfolio featuring an exclusive editorial with the drop dead gorgeous Dree Hemingway. It would be completely wrong of me to the stylish crowd all over the world, if I don’t post the corresponding menswear publication, would it not? Well… Better late than never, here it comes.
For men, The Portfolio presents a thorough global trend report that shall not be missed. From Eastern Promises to Desert Storm, what is in now is in The Portfolio. The highlight of which for me is naturally the editorial entitled “The Midsummer Odyssey”. Amidst a raw and ramshackle building, photographer But-Sou Lai encapsulates the essence of the season: a marvelous mix of understated soft tailoring with utilitarianism, the vivacity of ethnic influences and modern artisan. The result illustrates the charm of a modern man in a plain and simply irresistible way.

Magnificence from McQueen
Spring into Spring 2010 with a splash of colours in honour of the late Designer Alexander McQueen. The legendary Brit’s paint splash jeans ($570.00) are indisputably a unique piece that not only looks great, but also an inimitable keeper that speaks colourful tones of explicit individuality regardless of age and season. His bi-colour stripe cotton t-shirt ($315.00) is, similarly, fantastic with its masterful applications of painterly strokes in orange and blue - bringing the ferocious image of a lively wild tiger to mind.

Piercing eyes penetrate through our souls.
Even though the hottest ticket in town (a.k.a sales) is no longer valid at Lane Crawford, we are lured to step into the sweet-scented department store to discover the new season’s entrancing enticements up close and personal, while attempting to meet the ever so impeccable Ms. Sarah Rutson serendipitously and intimately for the trillionth time. The first and foremost origin of this forbidden temptation is none other than a sneak peek of the drop dead sexy Spring/Summer 2010 Ad campaign, entitled “The Portfolio”.

Nils Lawton in Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2010/11
Reading Russian writer Alexander Pushkin’s historical novel The Captain’s Daughter, we found a folk song, which painfully introduces us to the reality of life discussed in today’s post. It goes:
“If you find one better than me, you will forget me;
if you find one worse than me, you will remember me.” [link]

Alexander McQueen for Lane Crawford's must have scarf
If you have me on your twitter, you may already know that I am guilty of cleaning out the entire Luella store of last season stock, last last season stock and prehistoric stock; and am thereby, banned from shopping anywhere online and offline this month. However, I am glad to announce that my quota for February is still wide open. One item that I am eager to snatch off the rack as soon as it touches the shelf is Alexander McQueen’s exclusive collection for Lane Crawford – due to arrive on the very first of February (that’s just tomorrow!!!)!

Red Laminated Jeans From Alexander McQueen
Other than dying to buy Alexander McQueen’s red ombre scarf dress, another item that I am absolutely tempted to take home is his red laminated jeans (USD $895.00 $354.00). I love this peculiar visual effect on the jeans. It shapes and sculpts the legs oh so lean and lovely as well as giving them a dreamlike super perfect fit! The glistening laminated touch all over the trousers also gives off a glamorous allure, which I just love! When the sun doesn’t shine, be a knight in Mr. McQueen’s shining armor!
Available at Alexander McQueen.

Red Ombre Scarf Dress From Alexander McQueen
The prices have been slashed and sales is an official matter at Alexander McQueen’s! One piece, which we would absolutely kill to have in order to create the perfect murder on the dance floor, is his red ombre scarf dress (USD$3,395.00 $1,354.00). With its unique crimson red colour all over, this floor-length velvet gown is for sure the perfect weapon in order to complete this particular crime! Roll out the red carpet and let’s paint the town red with this absolutely drop dead gorgeous gown from Alexander McQueen!

Keith Haring Leggings From Alexander McQueen
When I shop Alexander McQueen, I always know I am buying something creative and utterly unique à la mode. His Keith Haring leggings (£380.00) are no exception to the above-mentioned category. The almost tattooed-like print work is indeed inspired by the graffiti meets pop art style of the iconic artist of the 20th century – Keith Haring. The overall imagery of these perfectly fitted pants brings to mind something that is wholly blood and flesh as well as themes that are personal yet unreservedly universal, as the American artist’s work often conveyed: birth, death, love, sex and war. We love these bloody red leggings, not only because they are bloody stylish and bloody cool, but also because they are truly deeply inspirational.
Available at Harvey Nichols.
