Drama Queen

Heyyy, 

it's been a while right? I can't believe how fast December flew, and now it's January's turn. Help please? I've been caught up in so many things, some important some less (hello the Big Bang Theory marathoooon) and it seems like ages since I was here. But first thing in order, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! and Merry Christmas (where was I?)

School was rough and being the drama queen that I am, I made a big deal out of it. But now I'm still on vacation (cegep does things right sometimes) and I'm taking every single second to do something useful with my life. 

So I told you I'm a drama queen, so you can imagine my reaction when I saw the McQueen PreFall collection right? Oulala. I mean, hello!!! Those clothes are just wonderful. It's like they can tell a story, I can imagine every single piece of clothing in various situations. The Renaissance Queen that wants to make a statement can be served! I think that the fact that there's not a lot of colors involved makes me like it even more. It looks simple but it's definitely not.

The house of McQueen is known for big runways so I can't wait until they present it, it's going to be epic. Sarah Burton does the trick again, and I want those coats and dresses so badly, makes me want to cry.

I wish you a wonderful year lovelies, full of surprises, love and fashion of course! :)

Talk to you soon :)

La Mort Est Un Processus Rectiligne

Death is a linear process.

A year. It's been year since Alexander McQueen's death. La mort est un processus rectiligne. Death is a linear process. It's my philosophical phrase of the moment. I've read it in a book for my French class and it made me think a lot. I'm not quite sure how to interpret it, but I'm closer than two weeks ago. But the thing I know is that it's going very well with today's subject.

February 11th 2010, McQueen suicide shortly after his mother's death. I think it's the event I was most marked of since the beginning of my ­"career" in fashion. He was a master all his collections were insane. He was known for his creativity and his unconventional sens of fashion. His runway were always dramatic, but beautiful to watch. He was the favorite of many artists, like Lady Gaga. Let's say McQueen will always be remembered.

As I was going through the different collections to chose the pictures to illustate this post I realise it will impossible for me to chose my favorite, I tried but with such a great work I'm sure I forgot some incredible pieces.

Spring 2011, his last. This collection blew me away.

I need to say that Sarah Burton did a fantastic job for this label, it will always remain one of my favorite!

I hope you'll have a little pensée for Alexander McQueen tomorrow and that everybody will remember him.
