Alexander McQueen
British fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen, the original creative engine behind the Alexander McQueen label, was beloved for his expert tailoring and theatrical runway shows. After his suicide in 2010, fans left tributes to the man and his talents outside Alexander McQueen boutiques worldwide. Record-breaking crowds visited the posthumous retrospective of the designer’s work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Victoria and Albert in London.
The inspirations for vintage Alexander McQueen bags, dresses, jackets and other items came from many quarters — film, music, current events, history, his heritage and fashions of the past. The designer's runway presentations were not just displays of clothing but were personal expressions of the zeitgeist, often touching on our cultural anxieties and concerns. McQueen’s own thoughts and feelings about love, death, gender, genocide, colonialism, global warming and the extinction of species all appear in his pieces.
McQueen certainly shook up fashion; he was a born Rottweiler. His upbringing on a council estate in north London played a part, but his family was close and supportive, not dysfunctional. He was proud of his Scottish heritage: He was a defiant fashion warrior. His historical themes and shows — such as “Highland Rape,” 2002, which was inspired by England’s “rape of Scotland,” as McQueen called it — always invoked powerful reactions from his audience of fashion pros.
“What you see in the work is the person himself. And my heart is in my work,” McQueen told Harper’s Bazaar in 2007.
It is perhaps this heart, and the heart’s exposure, that drew the crowds and made McQueen's creations both popular and emotionally resonant. Because the work was personal and thus layered with feeling, the motifs — decorative embellishments and fabric choices — have meaning. In other words, in McQueen’s oeuvre, plaid is more than simply a pattern.

- S/S 1999 Gucci by Tom Ford Madonna Runway Lucky Rhinestone Museum Pants Y2KBy Tom Ford for Gucci, GucciLocated in West Hollywood, CAPresenting an unbelievable pair of rhinestone embellished lavender wool pants from Tom Ford's famous 'Las Vegas hippy' collection with Gucci. Most famously worn by Madonna to the 1999 Grammys, where she opened the show and left with four awards, and by Mariah Carey in a 1999 photoshoot. The Spring/Summer 1999 collection is remembered for its drastic departure from Tom Ford's signature sleek minimalism. After the success of his earlier collections for Gucci, Ford wanted a challenge. Colorful, exaggerated floral prints and heavy beading served as an exercise in maximalism that stayed true to Gucci's design staples and Ford's reputation for selling sexy. These pants debuted as look number 33 on Danielle Zinaich and in the ad campaign on Jacquetta Wheeler, shot by Mario Testino. Part of the iconic Absolut Gucci ad campaign produced by Tom Ford and Absolut Vodka. This campaign was also shot by Testino in a foam-filled Paris club...Category
