Agreed. I discovered your channel 5 years ago through the video you made about Alexander McQueen and I was shocked at how bold, seductive and SADISTIC his art was and will remain. He was trully one of a kind and so sad we had to lose him the way we did. I guess there IS beauty in terrible horrific trauma.

In a recent video showing Madonna’s daughter in several runway shows, the comments were hysterical. Lourdes most certainly would never be selected to walk in fashion shows if not for her mother! The comment that made me snort with laughter was: “She is charging at me like I owe her money!” That is the same vibe as the models in this show. When will the tide change to allow models to bring a little of their personality back onto the runway? I am tired of the stomping, scowls and bad posture! 😂

Yep, some of her stuff was incredible, on par with Lee's in some ways. And it was commercial, flattering , wearable at the same time.

McQueen collections always had a narrative. This just feels like vibes. And not good ones at that. Mcgirr needs to show us he understands what the House is before trying to reinvent it.

Oh yeah. I want all of those things. I want to look like my peplum is a hobby horse. A turtleneck that doubles as a death tunnel? Yasss. Constantly going toward the light but angry about it. I do want the white pet scarf though. For real.

Ummm. Hello? Sarah Burton, the fashion designer who took over the namesake label of Lee Alexander McQueen months after his death in 2010

@PongPink4154

Exactly, like if this was a female designer, he’d be dragging it like he does Maria Grazia Chiuri, who, checks notes… is actually selling at Dior. Sarah was at the head of the house well before McQueen past so he needs to really mention her.

the controversy is that it's trash without McQueen himself

Most people in general just don’t have the angst that was Alexander McQueen. I think we need to accept we will never get another Kate Moss No. 13!

WOW... Even if someone offered me one of those outfits for FREE, I WOULDN'T TAKE IT...LMAO

I wish these designer brands would end when the actual original designer stops creating, then we wouldn't have to witness brands changing, not staying original and losing its special creative magic. This would create space for new designers to flourish and grow, but more than often behind a popular designer brand is a huge corporation which owns the brand, and since it already has a huge audience and popularity they keep the brand going, for their profit. I wouldn't mind if the designers original designs would be reproduced and maybe have the majority of the profits go to charity after everyone has been paid for for their labor, if the designer isent with us anymore more.

@dropdeadd_

By this logic, classic brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, gevenchy, and many more wouldn’t be in existence anymore due to the idea that we need to shut down a brand once the original designer steps down, its continuing a legacy of a designer not running for more cash grabs. The change in designer is gonna mean different routes and designs and ways they create, building a new iconic signature of the brand. Consider what would actually happen if people followed that logic.

I loved that he would put people in uncomfortable positions. From models being in restraints, or watching something beautifully grotesque. It was art. Not just well tailored garments. But they drove feelings. You saw an outfit and could see the story behind it. Now, it’s just well tailored pieces.

@@Catalina-Winemixer had to do some digging and you’re right. In the 2001 spring collection named Voss; Jade Parfitt walked for his show and said “You'd do it for £100 with one eye blind and in five-inch heels; you really had to earn that £100!" Which calculating inflation would be about $200 (usd). Definitely not fair competition in my mind. But I do also see how some models like Naomi Campbell became close to him and after his death would post “…how much do I miss your don't f**k with me attitude , while underneath most gentle soul and biggest heart." In my opinion fashion is the place where art is the most collaborative. From what I have seen McQueen cared about the people who helped his vision come to life. He asked Debra Shaw how she felt about wearing the metal shackles. At first she was against it but after talking to him and seeing his meaning behind it, she walked in his show. TLDR: models should get paid more but I think McQueen was a nice person who didn’t take advantage of his models but strived to make statements in fashion.

I hate those spare tire sweaters around the models necks pure torture

I miss Sarah already. 😢

The black long jacket. CUTE!!! ❤

Sarah did that just fine. She however had an upper hand on investors as she was McQueen’s right hand designer and could make more creative decisions that didn’t always translate into profit. They cleaned house and installed a newcomer with zero power or sway, McQueen will now attempt to become just another cash cow making JW Anderson-lite clothes with a McQueen twist.

I will mourn the loss of beautiful walks every day until I die. I grew up watching Naomi strut like she created the earth we live on. Watching the gremlin walks in platforms is draining.

Being there for others going through struggle or loss. Is extremely IMPORTANT! Never brush off what "THEIR" feeling...you never know what thoughts they're thinking on the inside. 🤝 ✌️ 🤝

I don’t think we will ever get that beautifully haunting classic McQueen feel ever again unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be more gag worthy pieces from his current team. The glass dress was really cool and special, I know he would have loved to see that on the runway, but most of the other stuff was kinda a let down.

these are beautiful pieces but i dont think we will be into theatrics any time soon, it is said he wasnt given enough time to look into mcqueens archives and the way they did this show is a callback to McQueen's own debut. We still have a long way to go but i am here for it, i know sean is insanely creative (a skateboard in a tshirt wtf) and he can execute it, he needs time to search it and I have faith he will and hopefully brings his own twist to storytelling it he does

Why do the model stomp down the run way though. Your right, they need bridled to slow them down. It distracts from the clothes.

I don’t know if it really had that McQueen feel to it, I mean, you want to look at it and KNOW without a doubt it’s Alexander McQueen. I was hoping for something outrageous, really hoped the McQueen theatrics would be brought back to some degree but didn’t get that 😭😭

This reminded me of “Haute Couture? More like hot glue!” 😂😂😂

Maybe not groundbreaking but I’m low-key digging the colorful glass flower dress and that weirdly fit and flared pinstripe suit!

I love the sweaters 😂got to get 1

The cutoff after "pull out your childhood trauma" was way too damn funny for me

This may make me seem like an old lady, but I miss the power strut walk of the 80's and 90's.Some of these walks looks like a horse trying to walk in a heel to toe walk

Some of these models make it seem like the outfit has a hunch

O one will ever be as creatively exciting as Alexander McQueen himself was. So sad, but true..😢

NOTHING TO LOVE NOTHING TO HATE NOTHING TO REMEMBER. BASIC BASIC & BASIC.

What the hell are those walks?? Those models were speed walking down the runway

I appreciate what you're doing here. Putting these amateur designers on notice. Not sure what's happening with the big houses. With talent.

Adoro la giacca in pelliccia !! ❤

The brand should’ve sunset with Lee.

I was devastated wtih her retirement and what is now happening there! So sad!!!!!!!!!!

Hard to appreciate the clothing when the models are so dramatically angry. They look like they found out they're not getting paid

That shiny black dress with the wrapped hands is very good, I don't care if everyone panned this collection. Give him time to build things out. Even Lee didn't start at Plato's Atlantis.

The walk on some of these models…. 😂

This is the best interpretation of that show - bravo. When are you doing Milan? My company will totally sponsor you!

Ilove all the outfit

I saw the Alexander McQueen exhibit in Melbourne last year. Comparing his masterful works to this, just pales. It's like looking at an off-brand McQueen and I would like to see a lot of historical references, sadistic, almost voyeuristic nature of his shows. I loved how provocative his designs were with a lot of historical references. I get suits and tailoring are his bread and butter when he was alive and he always had something exciting going on for his shows, which I loved about McQueen's fashion. His ability to shock and be in awe of his work inspired my love of fashion.

No one can do it like he used to but I encourage people to try

I’ve come across some old Alexander McQueen photos on Pinterest from the runway circa fall 2009. It was serving equestrian meets gothic! It’s such a shame he doesn’t do it anymore.

It’s their cash cow, I’d rather keep it around. That said, I really wish something more McQueenian was happening. Is the money side of things so significant, that artistic expression has to suffer this much?? Nobody is expecting exactly what McQueen did, but there are so many creatives, so many people inspired by him. Is it really that hard to follow his work? Sean only had 3 months, so it’s too early to discredit his work. A lot will (or should) depend on his next collection. Dilara Findikoglu would be a much better fit in my opinion. If you give her the budget and creative freedom, I can see her stepping it up.

Loved Sarah Burton this is nice and wearable but agree on the more exitement which can de done with acessories if necessary.

No one can replace McQueen- Sarah Burton did a beautiful job but even she could not replace the o.g. enfant terrible. Still miss his collections.

This collection really kept me watching from the start to the end It’s kinda interesting

That walk lmfao

Once again I am pretty sure I’m in the minority. I loved the second look shown, the colorful glass dress, I loved the tailored suits, the other glass outfits, and I even loved the chunky sweaters with the exaggerated cowls. But I’m not knowledgeable about fashion and trends, and I tend to look at each piece as stand alone and not part of a cohesive collection. All I know is that I’d be very happy if someone gifted me any of the items I mentioned, because not only could I never afford any of them, I could never sew anything that intricate and sophisticated. But one can dream, right?

I somewhat agree. I think this debut show was as dramatic as it could be for a house the size of McQueen. And I’m sooo thankful Burton’s days are now gone. No investor would want the real drama of Lee’s era. So there will be no going back there ever. Let’s leave that to newer brands.

The 4th looks like they wanted to reference McQueen's 'Highland Rape' collection...but missed.

I can’t let McQueen or Westwood go. Period.

Great tailoring? I saw non, this whole thing was horrible to look at. I feel bad for the designer because he’s going to get ripped for this. Just doesn’t seem like a good fit though. Simone Rocha or Dilara Findikoglu would have been great to take the reigns. Gareth Pugh would do a wonderful job as well.

What is up with the model's walk? Is it the shoes?

The 3rd woman is scary 😨

Kinda agree with u! I think is a good collection. I don’t think its enough. I do think is well-made and polite and put together. Tho maybe too much. I miss the concept of McQueen and the playful narrative with the ugliness/beauty standards

The models are stellar. Gotta love the working girls!!

Did Big Bird from Sesame Street design that first outfit!?! 😂

I just need to wear this to the CVS

Love you're knowledge and passion. So fun too.

It seems like you were just in a bad mood, tbh. Beautiful collection, the suiting is superb✨

I know it’s typically mcQueen’s style to tell the models to stomp angrily, but this is the first time I found it soooooooo distracting, I think it’s the way it can crumple the tailored outfits that were made beautifully but were not made to run/power walk in, like after first rehearsal they should have told them all to tone it down

To be McQueen, you gotta be problematic. Period.
