British designer Alexander McQueen passed away this morning — a great loss of a great talent. His accomplishments are written large across the face of modern beauty, and there's no chance his legacy will be fading away anytime soon. In tribute to an amazing life, I've put together 10 of his most amazing runway moments. Read on to see the man at his best.
Alexander McQueen created an elaborate inspiration story based on a girl in a tree emerging to become queen. Trendinista has discovered similarities between several of McQueen's Fall 2008 creations and a trip to the lighting store.
In just a few weeks, you'll be able to get your hands on MAC for McQueen, a 16-piece collection of color products specifically made for Alexander McQueen's fall 2007 runway show. The Cleopatra-inspired look features bold, beautiful blue and green shades—along with a few more muted naturals that you could wear in an understated way.
“Alexander McQueen was very specific about the makeup direction and I translated his ideas of Egyptian, graphic, bold colored makeup into a look that was strong yet hypnotic; which was very much in the spirit of the show,” said Charlotte Tilbury, the key makeup artist for the show.
This is the first time McQueen has collaborated with a cosmetics company, and I can't wait until the line hits MAC counters in October. For a complete rundown of the colors, plus a gallery that shows off all of the products, read more
