devil in the details

alexander mcqueen's spring 2010 collection has been fugged and loved all over the place. but what i find particularly compelling about the collection are the fabrics and how sort of primordial, vibrant and earthy they look. the prints have an incredibly textural quality that makes each dress appear to really just seem alive.

recently i took some detailed photos of natural hot springs. i recall standing next to them and thinking there is something so intense about the bubbling heat and the vibrancy of color within them. both that feeling and the images themselves evoke for me something very similar to how i feel when i look at the fabrics in this collection.

r.i.p. AMQ. so sad indeed. a very nice article in praise and thoughtful critique of his work can be found on salon.com

and also for those out there who would like to try a hand constructing some AMQ mystique, download the pattern and try this.
