Paris Fashion Week: Alexander McQueen Autumn Winter 2010-2011

Alexander McQueen's untimely death has reignited everyone's love for McQueen's work which is a shame since he was always a genius that created works of art that walk down the runway rather than just clothes that hang off a model. I found his work fascinating, something that bridges the gap between what can be actually considered fashion. He is definitely more about the style. Who can forget last season's shoes....no way



But lets talk about his final collection at Paris Fashion Week which was revealed in private showings in respect to the great man and his work. He seemed to be inspired by everything regal and art with intricate usage of gold and beautiful rich materials. It seemed his clothes had just popped out of a painting from the 16th century. It was stunning and reflected his belief in craftsmanship and detail to every piece he creates.

Every piece that was shown had something I thought was beautiful so it was very difficult to narrow it down to my favourite 5 favourite looks; therefore there are 6. Images are all credited to Vogue Australia.

UNBELIEVABLE.

P.S. I'm off to the La Roux gig on Friday so expect a full review of the show sometime over the next few days.

Bye...for now

Off the topic of good ole' rock and roll

This as a good a time to introduce the latest aspect of my blog. STYLE. I love music and style. Now I'm not just talking about fashion and the trends for the season. I mean individual style that shows your personality and makes you feel comfy. I'm all for experimentation that sometimes doesn't pay off and fun in the stuff you have to wear everyday of your life practically. Although, I'm a believer in the classics like white shirts, tailored pants and amazing accessories (number 1 really). In reality this actually links with music easily since artists today relate their music often to a particular style. We all think Lady Gaga's outfits are a bit out there but I think it shows the type of artist she wants to be; edgy whether this is actually true will depend on whether you like her music.

This is why from now on I think this blog should be about the 2 things I like most that aren't my family and friends. I will show you all that I am inspired by in this world whether it be through my love of music which really did come first and effortless style. By the way, I will not necessarily post outfits of what I wear because there are a zillion blogs that do this and do it well. Mainly you will get an insight into what I think is interesting and will reinterpret for myself.

So to start off, an exciting package came my way today from the awesome store ASOS and it included a few things including a 21st bday pressie for my cousin which I will not post here but I did geta few bargains shipped here including brogues, motorcycle boots and a cardy for the boy...woohooo! All things that I will wear forever. Did I tell you I rarely get rid of clothes unless they're worn to death...













Everything here is easy for me to wear.











See you all soon and it will be a lot sooner then I've been around recently. Loz
