Alexander McQueen Final Collection

It is frighteningly chilling how etherial and beautiful McQueens last collection is. A final statement to his legacy. I am struck by how simply beautiful his models look and what a contrast that is to the often over the top, dark and almost painful look to many of his prior collections:

This last collection is so pretty. There is still that unmistakable McQueen edge but is is also so flattering and feminine. Such a sad and sobering occurrence his passing was. It makes the beauty of all this extremely bittersweet.
