it's a sad fact that beautiful things can come from so much pain. and that again was proven by alexander mcqueen's final collection. the 16 looks he had completed before he took his own life a month ago were shown in a quiet parisian salon today. inspired by medieval fashion, mcqueen was trying to return to his roots and create a beautifully crafted collection. the prints and details of every single piece just puts me in awe, and shows truly what a master he was. all of the embroidery is done by hand, and the jacquards were hand loomed. he will truly be missed, and be remembered as one of the most influential designers of our time.
