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Even though the hottest ticket in town (a.k.a sales) is no longer valid at Lane Crawford, we are lured to step into the sweet-scented department store to discover the new season’s entrancing enticements up close and personal, while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.

Alexander McQueen's skull-motif is simply striking!
Skull! Skull! Oh, skull! It’s scary, but oh… we just love to play with fire! When it comes to this bloodcurdling subject matter, we certainly cannot go past the mighty king and queen of this Gothic greatness – the British designer Alexander McQueen. Available on his wonderful website and in stores now is an exquisite jewellery selection, which exhibits a touch of our love for the six letter word – d.a.n.g.e.r. Presented in the picture above from top left (clockwise) are red double wrap skull charm bracelet, silver skull ring, skull crystal drop earring, red punk heart cuff, icon charm bracelet, gold skull ring and fork and spoon drop earrings. My pick from the pack is definitely the skull ring! I just love the Swarovski crystal stuffing in the eye. So rich, so exquisite! Living on the dark side? Don’t say it. Live it, wear it!

Moussy from Japan
Originally, this post was supposed to be about those pants I spotted the other day, which had a print that looks very much like Alexander McQueen’s signature dogtooth print. However, instead of accusing Moussy of being a copycat, I found something that shows that they are actually quite shop-worthy as its own. So here goes Moussy’s terrific three (from left to right):
- As we all have seen from the recent Spring/Summer 2010 shows, tight pants are fading away and we are seeing a new wave of oversized and baggy pants with a skinny cut around the legs. These mid-calf trousers fall perfectly into that category. I especially like the zipper detail on the side.
- When I first saw this zip up skirt, I immediately thought of Alexander Wang meeting Versace. 100% urban sexy!
- Half-visible, half-invisible – these sexy black lace leggings show us the power of seduction.
Available at Moussy’s webstore.
