And Darkness Falls With Sparkles

An ode to the great Alexander McQueen . . . it's truely a great loss. He left us with an outrageous last collection to remember him by, one that pushed all the boundaries fashion has ever hoped to see, with aliens and inspiration from other worldly lands. Maybe they took him captive to design for them. . . that's my theory. None the less it's a black day in the realm of fashion.


A little quote by Alex to get us by . . .

“I think it’s important to look at death if it comes under the word macabre because I think that it is part of life. I’ve always been fascinated by the Victorian period of death where they used to take pictures of the dead. It’s not about brushing it under the carpet like we do today. It’s about celebrating someone’s life. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, I think it’s a very sad thing, a melancholic thing. It’s a very romantic thing because it means the end of a cycle. Everything has an end. The cycle of life is a positive thing because it gives room for new things to come.”
