PARIS--My clearest image of Alexander McQueen, the brand, is the designer's Spring 2010 runway show, which I attended last fall in Paris on behalf of my former employer. I think I sat 3rd or 4th row--I still have blurry images of those hoof heels on my iPhone. It was the last proper show McQueen would live to see, and it was spectacular. Unearthly, Godly, serpentine: he offered us the most distinct digital prints, the most magnificently sculpted bodices.McQueen's final collection, which debuted last March, was more ornate. There were lots of reds and golds with headpieces and plenty of layers of fabric. As someone who grew up attending Russian Orthodox church services, there was something about the collection that reminded me of what the religion's strictest priests wear every day.This season, with McQueen's tragic passing in February 2010, his second-in-command Sarah Burton has taken over.Sources:Fashionita.com
