Oops! My RSS feed was broken, and I don’t know for how long. It’s fixed now.
Other than that, if you have a few minutes to spare today I’d highly recommend watching the video of Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2010 Ready To Wear collection, entitled “Plato’s Atlantis” (and I love that this is meant to be “ready to wear”! Ha!). It’s beautiful, bizarre, weird, terrifying (in that I was scared for the models in those fantastic shoes) and wonderfully inspirational. There are cameras on robotic arms, too – what’s not to like?
I tend to keep a close eye on the world of the catwalk, and while there are many things to dislike about that world, there are some designers who make outfits that are more art than clothing. I hope we never lose that. McQueen is among my favourites, but I’d put Gareth Pugh, John Galliano and Christian Lacroix at the top of the list.
