Lady Gaga and Alexander McQueen love each other! (New music video "Bad Romance")

I love how my favorite artist right now, Lady Gaga, has alligned with one of my all time favorite designers Alexander McQueen to spread their unique style around the globe. For his Spring 2010 showcase, McQueen had his models walk the finale to "Bad Romance", Lady Gaga's first single off her new album "The Fame Monster" (set to release November 24th!!) . In return, for the music video (released today), Lady Gaga showed off a variety of  McQueen's clothing and shoes. I am convinced that Lady Gaga and McQueen were made for each other! Below you will find Lady Gaga's newest video "Bad Romance" and McQueen's Spring 2010 collection finale.

Designers inspired by the dark side!

Halloween is right around the corner, meaning everyone is putting their last minute touch's on their costumes! But for those of us who haven't even started searching for costumes (tisk tisk), don't fret, I may be able to help. Take a look at a few of these chilling looks from some of the biggest names in fashion, they are sure to give you a burst of inspiration! (click on image to enlarge)

Alexander McQueen- "No one knows how to chill an audience's bones like McQueen!"


John Galliano- "Embracing the beautiful and beastly his runway vision runs the gamut from the impish to gaudy to batshit insane!"



Gareth Pugh- "Obscuring the line between sculpture, sci-fi, and cyberpunk, he seems poised to rival McQueen's legacy and Britain's most visionary designer!"

Fashion is art...just ask Alexander McQueen!!

A lot of people have complaints that runway fashion is getting out of hand. Meaning a lot of the things you see on the runway aren’t typically suitable to wear for any occasion. What people don’t understand is that a lot of designers (especially high fashion designers) view their collections as art rather than just clothes to wear, and they want their lines to tell a story.

For example, let’s take Alexander McQueen. His Spring 2010 runway collection has gotten a lot of hype. But the story/theme behind his line was a statement about the future of our world, more specifically, the meltdown of our world due to global warming. “McQueen’s version of Waterworld showcased mankind as alien-like creatures forced to adapt/evolve and live in the sea as the polar ice caps have melted. Out came clothing in reptilian prints and sequins to mimic fish scales.” The heels on the runway looked like they were out of this world, or at least this land.  They were super high, skeletal-like and featured interestingly curved booties designed for the animalistic and bold. As outrageous as this line may seem, there will still be people investing their money into a pair of those shoes, or one those dresses!
