News . . .

Great news!!! I am so excited about this news, I'm finding it hard to contain my joy!

The V&A Museum is set to host the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition, which received huge acclaim for its tribute to the great designer after his tragic passing in 2010.

So to mark this occasion I'm going to talk about my top three McQueen moments during the great designers career and the best three pieces from the brands latest collection.

In the number three position we have the now infamous Kate Moss hologram. This spooky illusion was part of his Fall / Winter 2006.

At number two it would have to be the model Shalom Harlow as a human canvas in the Spring / Summer 1999 show.

Number one was the show put together in memory of Isabella Blow. For this McQueen paired up with milliner Philip Treacy who was also a close friend to Isabella Blow. This show was all the more memorable as it was planned and constructed with love for their dear departed friend. Showing McQueen's Spring / Summer 2008 collection named 'La Dame Bleue'. It is also my favourite as it paired two of the most talented craftsmen together and boy was it a show to remember!

Now my top three pieces.

So there are some great pieces in the current McQueen collections, the above are just my top three picks.

Starting with this interesting laser cut dress. Made from cotton, and featuring a grid pattern of laser cutting this dress is very on trend. Have you been noticing all that laser cutting creeping back into stores at the moment?? If not this is a great choice, if you have a lot of money of course, this is not really available on this interns budget. The dress also has box pleats, another thing which is on trend at the moment. Sarah Burton being ever practical has also designed this dress to have pockets, and cut in a halter neck style it is perfect for summer days. Moving on to the middle image, the 90's crop top is back in and McQueen have designed it to be oversized to pack more of a punch. Made from patchwork flocking on cotton popeline this top is incredible I love that it has been done in red and black it just makes it all the more edgy and stylish. Finally we have these uber stylish cigarette trousers. Known for their impeccable tailoring these trousers are no exception, I love the feminine touch from the peplum detail at the waist a great update to any working girls wardrobe.
