Long Live McQueen



Gucci Group released this amazing tribute on the Alexander McQueen website, which demonstrates the artistry and creativity of Mr. McQueen.  The video is awe-inspiring and leaves me breathless each time I watch it, so I wanted to share it with you, my fashion friends in cyberland.
His final collection for Fall 2010 will be shown in Paris on March 9, and the fashion world is eagerly (but sadly) waiting to see what he designed for his women for fall.  As far as a successor, no one has been named yet, although, I am going to throw out Olivier Theyskens name, formerly of Nina Ricci, who in my opinion, would be a good contender to fill the the role.  I can't say that anyone will be a perfect candidate to succeed McQueen.  Alexander had a design sense that was so uniquely his own, that it will be incredibly difficult for anyone to be able to replicate that, but I feel that Theyskens will can make a darn good attempt, after his forward thinking designs for Nina Ricci.  The fashion world is waiting to see what will happen next.
