All things Alexander McQueen Chat and Share thread....

creighbaby, they are all fabulous! The shoes are very fashionable especially with that thicker heel and the scarf you still have needs to be worn!!! I cannot believe you let go of the hummingbird scarf... :wtf:
 
These are my only two McQueen items.

I bought these shoes at the last McQueen sample sale in NYC in 2009. My husband thought they were too over the top (he said they looked like shoes a streetwalker would wear!) so I tried to sell them. They never sold and I'm glad they didn't. I have never worn them and I have a piece of shoe art from one of his last collections.

I also bought this scarf at the same sale and I've never worn it because I'm afraid of snagging it.

WOW!!!! Incredible pics, Creigh!!!! I love all of it!!! Those scarves are TDF!!!! The shoes!! STUNNING!!! I can't wait to see how you put this together!!! :biggrin:
 
Oh, THE thread I was hoping for! Great idea ladies!

I'm a major McQueen lover, with a few items - but the ones I can't recommend enough are the lace leggings. I've got two pairs, which I wear under a skirt just like stockings, and I swear: every. single. time. I wear them, I get compliments. They're total show-stoppers!
I'm not a fan of the latest model, though, as to me, the most beautiful part (the koi and butterfly patterns) are so high up on the hips that they're mostly hidden, while the leg part is a bit meh compared to the gorgeousness of the earlier models.


(edited to cut the pics, they didn't show up for some reason)

I was torn over which scarf to keep, but after over-spending at the sale -- I also bought two pair of puma/mcqueen sneakers, one for my husband and one for me -- the shoes and scarves.
 
Greetings all McQueen lovers... Just wondering if anyone has an email address for the Las Vegas SA or store as I would like to order something and have it shipped to Oz. I want to email a pic of what I want... thought it might be better than explaining it.. Any help would be appreciated :smile:
 
I have lots of McQueen I am happy to say.

My Alexander McQueen coat (here with my Gucci Secret). It unzips to become a jacket, a short coat or full-length. I have the matching trousers and skirt too. Please excuse the belt which doesn't look great with it (I was showing by request).

BellaShoes, not dresses (hehe), but:

I only own 3 other mcqueen items, two of which are not currently with me. I got a dark gray and gold (I think it's listed as midnight/sun?) classic skull scarf, and a fox print skinny tie.

My third item, I absolutely love. It's from his Spring 2010 collection, and is a waistcoat with the Boticelli/glass print (please excuse the logo; I edited it in for use in a scrapbook of sorts). The print is so graphic and bold, and you just don't see that often enough in menswear!
