British fashion icon Alexander McQueen commits suicide
British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead after taking his own life. The 40-year-old committed suicide just three years after his close friend, Isabella Blow - who plucked him from obscurity and helped him become a star - killed herself. A source at McQueen’s office this afternoon confirmed his death, saying: ‘It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family.’ His death comes just days before the start of London Fashion Week and weeks before he was due to unveil his new collection at Paris Fashion Week on March 9.
I'm in shock, it's hard to believe that we have lost one of the worlds greatest designers. He left us at the top of his career and he will be missed dearly. rip
Lagerfeld himself created this tutu made entirely of natural resources. The torso is covered with slender ostrich feathers, whereas turkey and hen feathers are layered at the waste in a muted palette of pink, grey and white. It took over 100 hours to create this handmade garment, but every minute seems worth it.
convince my mother that they are a necessity and therefore worth buying. But even though I usually enter to worship the shoes, I found something else worth salivating over, a Valentino Handbag. It's a showstopper piece, and a bag that has to be the center piece of an outfit, but its worth it. Each blue rose is an individually coiled length of taffeta, which makes it look more like a florist's bridal masterpiece rather than a designer purse. Available in blue and pink, I was completely torn between which to crave more. My quickly snapped picture, which had just been texted to three of my most fashionable friends, was greeted by the oohs, ahhs and ohmigods of Valentino envy. Sadly at the rate my money disappears at Urban Outfitters, its virtually impossible that I will save up enough.
may call forth from their memory a trip to the French countryside where it is hard to imagine anything more beautiful than the sun slowly sinking behind the rolling hills. For me, nothing is more beautiful than a perfectly crafted piece of Marchesa couture. Every piece has an organic feel to its carefully draped fabrics, an effortless glory. With my promotion coming up, we are all scrambling to find the prettiest dresses, and to make sure no one will have the same one. I am quite sure that if I had the money no one could win against my pick. Imagine a dress (well several really) so unique and beautiful that it has persuaded me to actually consider 
by Marchesa features a skirt with unique organza detailing. Although, as I am also the girl who is over dressed for every occasion, there was piece that really grabbed my attention, and naturally it was full length. However I do not want to be the only girl to turn up in something that goes all the way down to the toes of my Michael Kors heels. Of course I already begged the friend to wear one, but just as I won that battle, she returned her dress. Broken hearted, I gave up on mine and any hope I had of raising the money. But seriously! Just feast your eyes on it. Fabric cascading down from the bust of organza flowers. Its only negative is that someone fabulous has already worn it, Jessica Alba. This fact makes me just a teensy bit star jealous, wait change that. A LOT star jealous. And she edited it (do you remember?) Her version had more feathers coming out of the bodice, electrocuted feathers. But hey, its still gorgeous.
and this dress is no different. Of course it would require some accessories. Specifically, a big statement necklace, it would be black, metallic, maybe a few jewels. A pair of Louboutin pumps, in black, although the red sole might be distracting. Perhaps a big black belt as well, but that might mean no necklaces. 
fashion sense is so in over here! Colourful tights, leg-warmers, Ked's plimsoles, and tartan. I think I may have gone native. I've got a pair of hot pink tights, and turquoise leg-warmers. Tights go with shorts and ballet flats, while leg-warmers can be worn on the outside of skinny jeans. I suppose most of its' worn to keep warm, but oh well.
