I’d love to see these up close. I’m so curious about the materials used. The heels look like they are made of plastic. I can’t believe they would be some kind of metal, seems that would be too heavy. I wonder how long some of these embroidered pieces take to produce?
I’m loving the Object Fetish videos by SHOWstudio.
Examining key pieces from next seasons international collections, Object Fetish trains obsessive attention onto next seasons not-so-obscure objects of desire – namely the choicest accessories from fashions favourite names, metaphorically unpicked through film and text.
The last Object Fetish video I showed you was for the Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 Chanel Ice Cube Handbags. This video takes on Alexander McQueen’s final Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 collection. The Fetish is shoes. The object is pictured above. The video isn’t on youtube yet so you will have to visit the Object Fetish – SHOWstudio site to watch. It’s well worth it, the shoes is one of the more ornate things I’ve ever seen. I really wish SHOWstudio would have embeddable movies.
I’ve also tracked down some images of what’s to come in shoes this fall for McQueen.
This is Sarah Burton’s first kick at the Alexander McQueen womenswear line since Alexander has died. I have to admit, I’m liking this Resort 2011 collection.
It’s a safe collection and you can see the difference a woman’s touch makes. It’s a much softer collection that manages to keep a lot of traditional McQueen elements.
This is the first collection by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen since the designer died. I saw the photos initially and wasn’t sold. However after viewing the Alexander McQueens menswear Spring Summer 2011 fashion show my attitude turned around. I like the collection, very subdued. I’m very curious to see what these means for the womenswear collection.
This editorial is absolutely stunning. I love the use of the Alexander McQueen’s Plato’s Atlantis spring summer 2010 pieces. It’s quite fitting in this underwater world. Other designers in the editorial include Balmain and Prada.
