Of all the many fashion designers who are talented beyond imagination these days, I have to say that I have a penchant for Alexander McQueen. I guess it's because his designs are comparatively darker. It has an obsessive and morbid nature if you look beneath the gilded sequins and elaborate fabric and in a way some of it is almost, grotesque. And you know, that there is nothing I like more than grotesquery.
Besides, his designs have a romantic and sometimes medieval feel to it. Even when he designs something futuristic, there are the telltale details that suggest ancient origins. Also, I love the theatricality of his intricate and almost labyrinthine gowns. Every piece seems to hint at a mystery or a clandestine secret behind its folds. Oh God I could die in his glorious gowns. Anyway, a few of my favourites:
Autumn/Winter collection 2009
Autumn/Winter collection 2010
Savage Beauty collection: Romantic Nationalism
