Alexander McQueen, please don’t go

Alexander McQueen was one of the few designers whose work I followed knowing it would always surprise me. I wanted that surprise.
I feel he was a master of the silhouette.
Each fashion decade of the 20th century was marked by distinctive silhouettes.
The 1920s flapper silhouette, a product of wartime practicality and female liberation, was utterly different from the stitched-up hourglass tailoring of the New Look in the 1950s.

Meet Tara Riesner, a writer in New York with a rigorous style plan.

When she unwraps herself, it's like... -

I too, friends, I too.
Cute boys wearing necklaces are one of the world's great bounties, n'est-ce pas?
Let us indulge in some retrogressive Summer clothes-viewing from festival season last year, and also some current stuff from sunny Sydney.
It's so convenient having another hemisphere up one's sleeve...
No idea where this parrot trend came from but I saw it twice in a day so it must be happening or somefing.

Yeah... Welcome to SydneyA very ... classy place...full of style...
I pose a question: What's wrong with this picture?
Yea verily the Santa suit has become some kind of Dionysian theatrical mask, which allows the wearer to get loose and transgress social boundaries.
Anciently December was also the month of Saturnalia, the Roman celebration of tomfoolery and subversion.
Co-incidence? I think not!!!!!!!
See I could have said to these Santas, "Io, Saturnalia!" ("praise to Saturn!") and... -

She made this necklace herself!
My last post on the Met Gatsby party covered the bright young people who, in interpreting the theme, dressed romantically.
Here are a bunch more who introduced a modern edge, some unexpected details, a bit of fusion & eclectica...
