Alexander McQueen

[JulianaSaar]

This is the greatest collection ever created by the hands of a designer, I only wish he were still alive to showcase the same beauty. These are beautiful pieces of art that should be worn by royalty.

@mark0zZz1 It's Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit, but I guess it's being played with string instruments instead.

[LYDIA21LOVE]

Beautiful! !,

[gradusm]

when i was there he acted like a director or a stylist. Peopel would come up with ideas and designs under his them or direction and he would choose the best and edit them so it still had his astethtic and influenece.

[bulletvi]

[yukarishingame]

Was the music by Nirvana real or you put it in the video?

[JottaRyan]

@yukarishingame Smells like team spirit, but in Violins *w* is so much perfect!!

[Charamia2392]

@JottaRyan it's "smells like teen spirit" and I agree,it does sound beautifully

[UnperfectisPerfect]

Damn I love Alexander McQueen just 1 of those dressed is probably worth all the money I got in the bank :(

[halashet]

his death has been a huge blow for the fashion industry.may he rest in peace.. he may be physically gone but his legend as a genius in the field of fashion arts will live through.. LONG LIVE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN!

[pkasrey]

wow very whimsical

[laurauhlig86]

that may be somewhat true, but i'm sure he has worked very hard to get to the spot he is in now.....it takes much dedication..determination..and most of all passion.. to make it in the fashion industry...

[phoneylala90]

@laurauhlig86

He didn't "make it" in the fashion industry, because even know, he is still not accepted. People like Jason Wu, or Alexander Wang "made it" b/c they have mediocre talent and their clothes are normal.

Calling McQueen a visionary, an innovator would be an understatement. He challenged people, created things the extent of an average person's imagination could not reach.

He changed the fashion world, criticized it, condemned it, and at the end, revolutionized it.

[gradusm]

i can not believe you are all suckers. Do you think that mcqueen designed all of this collection. It is a beautiful collection but so much of it is created by students and a team of designers. i know this because i worked in atelier.

[poosaypirate]

@gradusm lol duh

[MrGooshness]

@gradusm you suckers um hes pretty much the guy with the ideas and he designs them with his beautiful team so its MORE him 100% and his team 95%.the team makes the garments not the visual or the ideas

[gradusm]

@MrGooshness what you said does not make sense. Have u worked for mcqueen?

[MrGooshness]

@gradusm um ya it did actualy hes the one with the ideas hes works on it with his team so its basicly id like to say 40% his team in the making of the garments and mcqueen 60% for the ideas and making of the garments structureht color thougt print mcqueen inteligent more inteligent then his team to make such simple fabirc into beautiful fashion pieces

[gradusm]

@MrGooshness your english is terrible and you have no idea what you are talking about.

[MrGooshness]

@gradusm realy how so, ok i made a few errors while typing ,my english is quite perfect and you said (Do you think that mcqueen designed all of this collection) you did, dumbass and ofcourse he does design all of his collections ,his team of designers dont have the inteligents to pull of what mcqueen has done in his collections? aparently you can fucking read? his team works to make the garments of course this collection is 2008 so his team most defintly learned his technics for fall 2011.

[gradusm]

@MrGooshness that was a rhetorical question. I was being sarcastic and so if any of your english was any good you would be able to understand that. Plus I can tell you mcqueen does not design all the embroideries and prints. I am quite sure his head designer has designed a good amount of these garments.

[emLevit]

@gradusm Dude "MrGooshness" maybe terrible at writing and expressing himself, but he does make a point there. I agree that McQueen has designers who help him create his work, but he is the guy with the concept the idea and the design. Its just like in a Publicity firm where a graphic designer makes the sketches and the concept and then he has graphic technicians that do the "physical making" of the idea, but they don't put any creativity or thinking, they pretty much do what they are told to.

[gradusm]

@emLevit In most cases this is the stereo typical idea of how a design business is run. But my comments are are based on my personal experience of working in the studio when Alexander McQueen was alive. Why do you think the transition from Alexander Mcqueen to Sarah Burton was so easy and not a dramatic change in style.

[0509112x]

@gradusm Wow! I always thought it was a one man job. Really? He didn't design all of these?? I will be very disappointed. How many designers helped him anyway? Were you one of them?? I have no clue of how the fashion industry runs.

[gradusm]

@0509112x he had a small design team. one for print and textiles and one for embroidery who have interns under them to do designs and graft work under their direction. then there is the head pattern cutter/designer and the head designer sarah burton who's position is under lee. She would do a vast amount of the design. Lee would would do just a view of the show piece by draping and allowing sarah to interepret them into final designs. There is also a shoes designer accessories, bags designer

[0509112x]

@gradusm Really? So who actually came up the ideas? Lee or Sarah, or other team designers? I really had no idea of how does the work distribute between the designers. I can tell that the McQueen shows were VERY different when Lee was alive. Did Lee McQueen do the sketches for most of the designs like those amazing shoes? It will be disappointing to know that some of the most talked about pieces were not actually by him though... By the way, did you see Kate's wedding dress? Sarah is amazing!!!

[gradusm]

@0509112x the shape of the shoes are designed by georgina goodman who design all the shoes for mcqueen collections and the embroideries on the shoes were designed by students. yes i watched the royal wedding on tv but i dont work at mcqueen now. you can describe lee as a director but not so much as designer later on in his career. he styles and edit collection as well deciding on the themes. The designs come from a collaborative group of people who work under lee's direction.

[greenpalaka]

i love the fact that aliceburdue has been included in a exquisite brand...

[frange07]

c'est vraiment magnifique le ton des couleurs est super vraiment j'adore ! cela me donne beaucoup d'idées! A chaque fois que je regarde un des defilés de Mcqueensa me donne invie de pleurer ^^ c'est tellement magnifique et inspirent... le seul mot a dire c'est "magnifique"...

kiss from french ;-D

[Chadwick781]

Breathtaking.

[MissMichelle5]

My all time favorite collection. If anoyne ever doubted the fact that fashion is art, they will never do so again after seeing this.

[emLevit]

@MissMichelle5

Miss, you mean Design, not "Fashion". Fashion is a concept of perception and Alexander was a Designer of fashion.

Saying that design is not art, is not a bad thing and it is also correct. In art you express your emotions, in design you create something to make others feel what something in specific.

It is very different and saying Alexander was an artist, is an insult to him and his amazing work. So please...

[happyrandom27]

i'd love to see one of his shows one day =)

[Easelde]

1:33 is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. His brilliance astounds me every time.

[ard666]

Whats the name of this version of Nirvana's Come as you are ?

[youvebeensliced]

LOL, it's Smells Like Teen Spirit.

[agnesfashionart]

Oh this show is so wonderful!

[shaniwrites]

OMG.....I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uglybutstupid]

McQueen continues to prove he's one of the most ingenious designers of our time. Leave it ONLY to him, to completely recreate Black & White.

[nicho52]

wow, stunning.  I feel like I am travel back time

[ErichBen]

It's TROLLO and it's my new channel, subscribe.

[CreatureofMasquerade]

[HEIDIHEISANN]

I love this collection..

but my alltime fave

of Alexander the great is spring 2005, the

chess collection.

[aglae300]

i love the shoes so beautiful

[HIMnHER666]

Itzz nirvana's song....

sounds so beautiful!

[poopyhelena]

his gowns are like seeing a renaissance painting come alive. it's all very surreal, especially with the instrumental "smells like teen spirit." like it's grunge of the victorian era? weird.

[LanvinHomme]

Am I the only one that likes this collection..? I thought it was really well put together, if I were a women I'd wear it on the streets.

[andrewjamesmacleod]

I agree. I think it's a beautiful collection, and a highpoint of his career. It's like the things he did around 2000, but with more funding. The dress at 1:00 is spectacular. The daywear is interesting and beautiful, if a bit unwearable. I can't wait to see the whole show, the music sounds like it's spectacular.

[dexterville]

Fashion followers like myself and folks who love Haute couture of course love the Alexander McQueen!

[seatally]

i absolutly love this collection.

[seatally]

i absolutly love this collection.

[aubrey1015]

Seen it before............same up hair dos but lots of don'ts............You know what to predict with him he isn't new in my opinion.

[DanotoriousR]

i hated his collection. nothing was ready to wear, i love over the top. this was not over the top, this was pure costume.

[greenrose91]

The song is some instrumental version of Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

[ElliotQQ2]

weird, i thought I recognized this from somewhere...

[mikeymike12382]

hey does anyone know what song is playing?
