Actress Drew Barrymore appeared at the London premiere of Going the Distance in a short McQ dress by Alexander McQueen.  She wore a sage green mini-dress that was belted to show-off her figure.  It boasted a flattering hem with a slight draping.  The earth tone went beautifully with her blonde highlighted tresses and nude suede platforms.  Her neutral color palette was accented with a bright red pout.  Barrymore got it right last night, this is how you do effortless chic.

Alexander McQueen Fall 2009

Heartbreak within the fashion community today as we learned of the untimely death of designer Lee McQueen of Alexander McQueen.  Shock and disbelief were the sentiments of the day.  We lost a creative genius who leaves behind a void.  He was only 40 years old when he took his own life.  His death took us especially hard in New York because today marked the first day of fashion week, and it was also supposed to be the day McQueen’s McQ line debuted in New York for the first time. 

Lee McQueen was a London born designer who showed his line in Paris.  He had the ability to tailor suits to the perfect specifications of the body.  McQueen was also a master at putting on a runway show, you watched for the spectacle as well as the collection.  Each year he would out-do himself, it was theater and we watched with excitement.  His spring 2010 collection gave us a glimpse of the future, and we eagerly anticipated his next show.  Sadly, it will never be, even if the show does go on. We should not focus on his death, but on the wealth of wearable art he has left behind.

Noted London fashion designer, Alexander McQueen, is showing his diffusion line McQ during New York Fashion Week Fall 2010.  The secondary line is for a younger and more trendsetting crowd.  It is also more affordable than the Alexander McQueen ready-to-wear collection.  McQ will be presented at Milk Studios on Thursday, February 11th.  Practically everyone in the fashion industry will be clamoring for invites.  You can be sure we will make McQueen feel welcome in his New York debut.
