Firstly i would like to dedicate this blog to my beautiful, faithful friend Katie who fell in love with this particular designer way back in our early college days, why i didn't listen to her then i don't know?!
Like most of the country and fashionistas my age, i have had my head hoisted firmly high in the Marc Jacobs sky! Eurgh why?
OK so Daisy perfume smells OK, his watch collections have tempted us all, and his SS09 Doctor Q work wear bag in Purple is something i have argued with my Mother about many a time. "But Muuuuuuuumm!! I neeeeeeed it, they're only savings!!". Ahh Tragic.
However, apart from that what other life changing, earth shattering, head turning things has he done??.... Answers on a postcard pls. It's fair to say i am most definitely "so over him".
For years the Queen of my fashion beating heart has always belonged to the mighty Westwood...
There was a brief stint in the late 90's where the crown went to Mr Gianni Versace, but at the time i was wearing patchwork flared jeans and listening to Sclub 7 so it's unfair to say i was fully equipped to make such final judgement!
However, my mate Viv... Aaah how for years i have adored, watched and idolised such an amazing woman. "Let it Rock" ... Say no more! Limited edition "Anglomania" perfume is still reasonably untouched, wrapped up in hankies and towels and hiding from the outside world in my desk draw at home. Fancy job interviews is the only time it gets unwrapped and sprayed for all to enjoy.
Anyway- so Vivienne Westwood, I do love you, you never forget your first love. Hours of research on her throughout college has most definitely helped me mould and structure my fashion alter ego.
However... There's a new queen in my life. Alexander McQueen!!
There comes a time in every girls life where she sees a boy, feels things she hasn't before. This is one of those times! Like i said before, my darling Katie raved about this creative genius all through college "feathers this" and "scarves with skulls on that". Did i listen? I did not, his hologram on Kate Moss for his A/W06 collection even failed to get picked up on my radar! Where have i been?
The man is a genius and has become my ultimate muse and idol since choosing to study him for my Contextual Studies essay! The man is god.. and i almost don't want to go into detail to much for the fear everyone else might convert.. Although they should! ALEXANDER MCQUEEN <3
