Even before Lee's passing, I was beyond obsessed with his Fall/Winter 2010 collection. I vowed to make one of his runway pieces mine. After many visits, phone calls, and look books later, I knew it wasn't possible to get the dress I truly wanted with a price tag of 4k and up and with the leather harness the whole look would cost over 6k.
I have since decided to get a couple ready to wear pieces, which have been taking a painful amount of time to arrive at the store. Thanks to my constant contact with Hugh, an amazing salesman at McQueen on Melrose, I have had constant updates on what has arrived.
Before Miami, I was feeling colorful and stopped by to see a couple pieces that had came in. My visit resulted in this:
Very unlike me, yet I can't help the need to buy as many print pieces from this collection, as it and was one of his last. I am anxiously awaiting the Ballet Titanic Pumps and Jellyfish leggings. Is this an unhealthy obsession? Yes, but at least I am not alone. Jo, a Londoner via Los Angeles has also bought the leggings in the snake print and an an amazing jacket among many other pieces that I plan on stealing.
And still, Ill re-quote myself: As I drive past Ed Hardy's block on Melrose, I think to myself what a wonderful world it would be if Christian Audigier had committed suicide not Lee McQueen. Still, the option is always open for C. A. I say, take the leap. Become a douchebag legend.
