Now that Paris Fashion Week is sadly over, it's time for me to post my most memorable runway moments. No particular order. I'm just going to let the pictures speak for themselves.
On February 11th 2010 I received the devastating news that Lee Alexander McQueen had committed suicide. I have always idolized McQueen and he was at the top of my list for favorite designers, so the only thing I could think of to do was to cry. I'm not afraid to admit that I cried for hours after hearing the news that the man who defines British Fashion is no longer with us. I wrote a small tribute for him a while back.
Yesterday fashions elite held a memorial service for McQueen at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. If I could have been anywhere yesterday it would have been there so I could have paid my respects to one of the greatest men in fashion. So many of fashion's most known and most powerful paid their respects. It was reported that Suzy Menkes of the International Herald Tribune spoke at the service. People like Anna Wintour, Sara Jessica Parker and Naomi Campbell were spotted walking into St. Paul's.

If you guys find anymore great pictures of his service then please feel free to post them in the comments.
Although it's fun to look at the clothes and the people, we have to remember this wasn't a fashion show, but a very sad day. The clothes that all of those people are wearing were made by one of the most talented people in the industry, and clothes like that we never be produced again. Long live the king of British Fashion, Lee Alexander McQueen!
Stay Stylish

One of the few dresses GaGa wore to the VMA's this year. Yes, I know this is old news. This is so 4 days ago, but I have been busy with Fashion Week and with college. So I'm just now posting it. The meat dress was something else, but that is so like GaGa. I also really liked the green flower dress with the McQueen Heels, and feather Mohawk.
What did you guys think of her attire this year? And did you guys enjoy the show? I enjoyed the red carpet more than the actual show.
In other news, London's Fashion Week starts in two days! Who's ready? I'm ready for Burberry.
Also check out this amazing blog called White Lightning. Elizabeth Spiridakis is my idol, and my future wife.
That's right everyone it has once again approached - the January in fashion, the new year - It's September, which means fashion week. Starting tomorrow we have nine days of none stop shows. Clothes! oh the clothes! There is only one slight problem. This year I am in college and have no time for anything other than my college work so hopefully I'll have plenty of time to review shows. For New York's fashion week I'm most excited for Vera Wang and Donna Karan. As for London I'm only looking forward to Burberry. Now Paris and Milan are different stories, I will most likely review every show during their fashion weeks. Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Prada, Lanvin, the list goes on and on... I think I'm in love, with clothes that is.
I thought I would take the time to go back in time and look at my favorite looks from the 2009-2010 Sping/Summer Fashion season.

Don't ask me why I chose nine looks, nine just sounded good at the time, but god those are such stunning ensombles. But what kind of fashion blog would this be if I didn't post some beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, magnificant shoes? Who could ever forget the show stopper at the Alexander McQueen show? The Armadillo Stiletto. They send shivers down my spine.
Those shoes are beyond amazing, there are no words for shoes like those. I would give my first born child just to try a pair on. They are breath taking.
Also I thought since we are approaching the Fall Season I would dig up an one of my all time favorite fall collections. Ever. This is John Galliano's 2009 Fall/Winter show. It's only the first part, but it's still a wonderful show.
