Fit for a ‘Queen

Posted in I AM FASHION with tags , , , , , , , on May 4, 2011 by iamfashion212

Recently I blogged about the late Alexander McQueen‘s new creative director Sarah Burton (See Long Live McQueen). Today she is known throughout the world for designing a wedding dress fit for a princess. What a difference a day makes. I know Mr. McQueen is very proud and happy to know that his legacy will forever be etched in history with not only one but three gowns worn during such a historical event. You heard it here first that his brand was left in good hands.

While I’m here in the U.K. visiting his home town London, back stateside in New York the Costume Institute exhibition “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” opens today at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  The show includes more than 100 of McQueen’s designs from collections that span over two decades. When I return to NY viewing this exhibition in honor of his life is at the top of my list of things to do. (May 4th – July 31)

This is my first trip to London. I did not attend the royal wedding but I am in the middle of it all. The shopping here is crazy. I love it!!! A fashionista could not ask for more. My next stop will be Paris for two days. This has been such a great experience. PLEASE stand by for pictures I will upload very soon.
