New York Fashion Week kicks off Tribute to Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen: as New York Fashion Week kicks off, designer's legacy will live on

As New York Fashion Week kicks off, flowers and candles outside the designer's store mark a tribute to a fashion maverick. 

Designers paid tribute to their college..

 

 

 

 

McQueen’s last show, at the Palais Omnisport, at Bercy, on the outskirts of Paris, was an extraordinary fusion of digital technology and dazzling design, simultaneously ‘streamed’ live around the world.
His inspirations came from Darwin’s "On The Origin of Species” and his theory of evolution, drew some references from the biblical Flood, posited the concept of human beings returning to the watery depths whence all human life sprung.
The colours and computerised prints were as vivid as the shoals of fish McQueen had seen on a recent scuba-diving holiday in The Maldives. The shoes were jewelled, barnacle-encrusted “hooves” which could have come from a sea-monster. The models’ faces were distorted with prosthetic “fins” and “gills”.
Backstage, before the show, McQueen seemed calm and confident. He was very happy with the collection; he thought it was one of his best. It was also his last.

Tributes to Lee Alexander McQueen at New York Fashion Week Charity Gala

Stars take to the catwalk in Alexander McQueen creations in memory of the late designer, and in aid of Haiti. 

 

A charity catwalk show at New York Fashion Week at the weekend, became a salute to the late British designer, Lee Alexander McQueen, who died suddenly at his London home this week.
The show, Fashion for Relief/Haiti, was organised by the British supermodel, Naomi Campbell, a global ambassador for the White Ribbon Alliance charity, and close friend of the designer, who said she was “devastated” by the news.


“It’s just so sad. I can’t believe it. He was the best,” she said. The list of more than 140 designers who donated clothes for the charity catwalk extravaganza was a roll-call of the biggest names in international fashion, including Versace, Gucci, Christian Dior, Burberry, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton, Manolo Blahnik, and Roberto Cavalli.
But the spotlight fell on "The Magnificent Seven" – a group of seven spectacular designs from McQueen’s last-ever collection, “Plato’s Atlantis”, originally shown during the Paris prêt-à-porter season last October.

Betsey Johnson Runway Show NYFW Fall 2010

Betsey Johnson Runway Show NYFW Fall 2010  Just out and hot off the runway is Betsey Johnson's Runway Show Fall 2010 Ready To Wear Collection..... NEW YORK , February 14, 2010 By Alison Baenen   Betsey returned to the runway and—to prove her performance skills hadn't dulled—made sure all the high-camp high jinks of old were in place. Kelly Osbourne, looking model thin, came out first, walking on a hay-strewn surface. She exuberantly tore off the bandanna covering her face, and…Yee-haw! We found ourselves in the Wild Wild West. Johnson's inspiration this season was, modestly, 45 years' worth of her own archives. "I'm working on my stuff, being very true-blue Betsey," she said. Her signature gun prints were there in spades, accessorized with candy-bright plastic pistols; there were striped bodysuits and tutus. The models sashayed along in groups with monikers like Banditos, Madames, and Brothelettes, usually with one among their number clad in a sweater...
