Behind the Scenes at Alexander McQueen- The Beauty, the Splender, the Drama

How to Look Sexy and Modern? Try some well-placed slits like Eva Green in Alexander McQueen

Eva Green an AW11 black split sleeve dress and Pre AW11 leopard print peep toe shoes by Alexander McQueen to the ‘The Rum Diary’ London
I'll Have What She's Having: Streamlined and bold slits in just the right places There's something about actress Eva Green's smart sexiness that reminds us of  the raw style of Italian actresses back in the 1950's via Veneto days. It's a control over non-fussiness and an emphasis on dynamic sex appeal and sultriness, best mastered in sleek, non revealing lines. Case in point: Eva's on trend, but not trendy, double-slit & slit sleeve Alexander McQueen LBD from AW11. Oh, and those luscious leopard print peep toe shoes also by Alexander McQueen.  WATCH: How to Accessorize a LBD and more LBD posts Smoldering liner and red lips keep the look graphic, clean and bold We saw the sexy open back slit on Amber

Alexander McQueen Spring - Summer 2012 look 2 by Michalis Christodoulou
  Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen, offered a truly inspiring collection for Spring/Summer 2012 and in our books, one of the most exciting shows during Paris Fashion Week. MORE: FASHION SHOWS AND RUNWAY REVIEWS As Burton said, the collection was an exploration of ideas of beauty at their most extreme and women as objects of desire.

Adventures In Extremes- Alexander McQueen or Rockport Pumps

Two brands that I never thought I'd put in the same sentence! I've always said not everything appears the same way in a photograph as in real life- it's all about stylist tricks, ya know. On the other hand, having great style is not necessarily about the items themselves but about how YOU put them together. Case in point: A pair of jewel tone pumps.Whoddaevathunk that I would put Alexender McQueen and Rockport in the same sentence? SHOP: DRESS PUMPS But on the other hand, it's the look of a brilliant pop of color on your feet that we're after, and certainly most of us out there can't foot the bill on the McQueen pair. So take a look.... $740

Alexander McQueen Retrospective Pulls Out All The Fashion Stops

Must See: Enough of the Royals, New York is mad for McQueen! Alexander McQueen must be smiling down on us. Just last week his eponymous label became a household name for non-fashionistas when Kate Middleton walked down the Royal Wedding aisle wearing a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown and changed into a second McQueen dress by for the reception. Then there are the rest of who have been mesmerized by the art of his designs that went beyond what is known as fashion and into an extraordinary realm of self-expression and creativity into a conceptual expression of culture, politics, and identity.
