Nick Knight Unveils His Alexander McQueen Tribute

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Videos,

Famed fashion photographer Nick Knight created the most dramatic and haunting tribute to date in honor of the late Alexander McQueen. Presented at the British Fashion Awards (where McQueen was posthumously awarded Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design), the short film features music by Bjork and the styling talents of Edward Enninful.

"We felt it was important to have the clothes featured one last time on flesh and blood before the [Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art] takes them away," Knight said.

And what an imaginative, beautiful way for the clothes' last show -- check out the video above.

Bjork on McQueen’s Death Obsession

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,

Bjork thinks Alexander McQueen had a “connection” with death.

The 40-year-old British designer took his own life on the eve of his mother’s funeral in February and the Icelandic singer thinks his “daredevil” tendencies made him a better designer.

“I felt Lee’s raw connection with nature and birth and death was very refreshing. When I moved to London, being from Iceland, I sometimes found the self-importance in the UK’s obsession with the decay of its empire boring, to insist the whole world is dying with them. Lee had so many ideas that he overcame this dilemma with fertility, raw gusto, sense of fun and courage. He was the kind of daredevil that looks death and birth straight in the eye.”

Bjork - who dressed as an angel and performed a heartfelt rendition of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday” at the designer’s memorial service last month - also posted a moving tribute on her website: “dear lee, i can´t stop thinking how both fierce and feeble you are , it is difficult to grasp this, my condolences go out to your family and friends and all your team who must be all trying to fathom this. (sic)”

Fashion Police: The Hulk Inspires Bjork

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,

Much to no one’s surprise, eccentric musician Bjork recently attended a red carpet premiere in an outlandish green

dress.

Don’t get me wrong—I was one of the few who liked the Oscar swan dress! Maybe if the dress were more form-fitting, the singer wouldn’t look like a bloated little sister of the Hulk. Then again, it probably wouldn’t be something that Bjork would fancy. I do, however, like the gradient tights and chunky ankle boots.

Is this another fashion mishap for Bjork or a misunderstood fashion triumph?
