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.

Inspiration: Hope Gangloff

My beautiful friend Lina has this crazy fantastic sketch of herself that was drawn by her insanely talented friend Hope Gangloff.
Hope's technique and style is just incredible. Such a refined hand with a sprinkle of hipster chic and voila, perfection. It doesn't hurt that she has some pretty hot friends!

You can find more of Hope's beautiful work on her website and you can contact her here. Tell her Taryn Sent You. Oh and would you please find out where they are hanging out in the last photo? I wouldn't mind popping in there for a cocktail sometime!
