RIP ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Alexander McQueen – Let us say as a conclusion in less than 10 years since Alexander McQueen obtained his masters degree in fashion design from London´s Central Saint Martins he has become one of the most famous and respected fashion designers in the world. He was named British Designer of the Year four times. In October 1996 he was appointed chief designer at the french haute couture house Givenchy where he worked until March 2001. Lagerfeld once grand ole suggested that Lee McQueen was  closer in spirit to shock artist Damien Hirst than Hubert de Givenchy when he was appointed to head designer replacing John Galliano. In December 2000 the Gucci Group acquired 51% of his eponymous fashion label and soon he opened flagship boutiques in NY, London and Milan. In June 2003 he was named International Designer of the Year by the Council of Fash Designers of America and in the same month honoured as Most Excellened Commander of The  Britsh Empire of Fashion CBE by her Majesty the Queen. McQueen used things people want to hide in their heads. War, religion, sex and more headaches: things we all think about but dont bring to the forefront. But he did in his collections and forced us to watch it.  McQueen kept  his pieces transcending any trend and will still hold as much presence in 100 years time – that is how trust really works. Lee Alexander McQueen  – one of the UK’s most influential fashion designers has been found dead at his London home. As i would describe Lee´s work – he made empowerment, at once romantic and perverse. It was rewarding to see the entire conceptual fashion design in unison – RIP.

SMUDGED MAC AND MILK STUDIOS

Restless Fashion TV – fashion week is upon us, which means endless shows, ruthless cab maneuvering, and plenty of miles on my six-inch Balenciaga heels. This season, it also means the launch of the second-ever exclusive M.A.C. and Milk Cosmetics Collection — a selection of backstage essentials found in every makeup artist’s kit. The limited collection, which is sold entirely online, features show staples that are consistently relied upon by the M.A.C PRO Team Tent to create  key fashion week beauty trends throughout the world.

According to Gordon Espinet, the Vice President of Global Makeup Artistry,  M.A.C. Cosmetics, radiant skin, smoky eyes and beige lips seem to be a part of the beauty trends every season. The M.A.C. and Milk Collection are the iconic products that create these trends. No makeup artist can live without these products during Fashion Week.

For his part, Milk Studios founder and Creative Director Mazdack Rassi is excited about the joint venture saying they are extremely proud to be working with M.A.C. Cosmetics on this exclusive makeup collection, which further extends the creative synergy between the two companies. M.A.C. and Milk is a makeup collection inspired by the people he is surrounded with — it’s fashion’s choice of beauty.

The line includes face and body foundation, fast-response eye cream, Fix+ (a skin spritz made of a blend of green tea, chamomile and cucumber),  and Mineralize Skinfinish Natural — among other treats.

I am tuning in for Custo Barcelona –  in addition to the collection’s launch, M.A.C. and Milk will be hosting veteran and emerging designers’ runway shows, presentations, and special events during the New York Fall/Winter 2010 fashion week, from February 11 – February 24!

RODARTE´S LAURA MULLEAVY BRINGS THE SILVER SCREEN WITH A NEW COLLECTION FOR TARGET

Japantown. The Narratives behind most Rodarte collections read like synopses for art-house films-a woman burned alive is transformed into a condor; a sullen child morphs from tourist into a vampire hunter. Designer sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy reference Brancusi, kabuki, and enough obscure artists to send even the most enlightened fashion editors scrambling to Pasadena Public Library. The complexity of these cultural references has bred a body of work steeped in elaborate construction: Fabric has been marbled, burned, studded, and sandpapered into garments that are at once futuristic and romantic. This is not the stuff that mass-market is made of. Or is it? the Mulleavys´GO International collection for Target feels like it´s meant for that grown-up brainiac from high school: She´s confident enough to admit that she likes Gossip Girl as much as Godard. Laura felt she was the right moment to do the Target collaboration because she now has a clear idea of our aesthetic, which allows us to branch out into different projects as she said. For the Target Collection, the sisters looked to iconic leading ladies: Mia Farrow in Rosemary´s Baby, Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde, and Ruth Gordon in Harold and Maude. Laura  developed the collection around films that affected the way she viewed the world. In many ways, they designed the collection for anyone who has that same curiosity about film and music. The translation is more emotional than literal. You won´t find Farrow´s baby-blue nightgown or Gordon´s tweed coat. Quite reminds me of an old men out of my neighborhood who´s been leaving seven of them, but know another making his mother cry without noticing. You will find items like a lacy slip dress covered by a veil of tulle that plays on the use of lingerie in Bonnie and Clyde and references the Mulleavys´penchant for clothing that is subtly revealing. The sisters journeyed between those isles, collecting inspiration from exhibits at the Museum of Contemporary Art, zines mixtapes at Ooga Booga, and cartoon decorated soda bottles and origami necklaces in Japantown we did adverts for. The tarte Target Collection also reflects Rodarte´s intricate craftmanship in the creative use of textured fabric. Check one of my fav stores: Target, Uniqlo, and Blick Art Store! …For the weekend i´ll be rechecking a marketing mix for my first own perfume launch and getting ready for Schwarzkopf!…We belong together!
