McQueen for the Win!

So, yes, we've been off the radar a bit: work, freelancing, dudes, post-production, travel and rehab will do that for you. (Just kidding on that last one!) A slowdown always seems to happen around various Fashion Weeks for us, which is sort of counter-intuitive since we're supposed to be a fashion blog -- but not so because most Fashion Weeks kind of don't intrigue us, partly because we're contrary that way and partly because they really do bore us. (I can say "us" because I suspect my compadres feel the same way. And I suspect my compadres are also more interested in what Carine Roitfeld and the whole Vogue Paris crew are wearing way more than what's actually on the runway. Would someone like to be part of my Vogue Paris group costume for Halloween with me? It's easy, just wear fierce heels, black clothes and tons of eyeliner.)

But then of course Alexander McQueen has to come around and make me eat my words because his show was so totally brilliant that even I had to bow down to its ingenuity and sheer, total dominant genius. It's a tribute to the late, great stylist Isabella Blow but it's more than that: a flight of fancy, a feast for the eyes, a spectacle of astonishment that combines incredible beauty and daredevil craftsmanship with the streak of savagery he's known for. Who cares if you can't wear most of it and ew, are those really dead birds? Just look at it, for God's sake! Check it:

(P.S. - I liked Balenciaga, too. And Limi Feu!)
