NOW THIS IS PERFORMANCE ART


photo: David Bailey


Daphne Guinness is a woman who takes fashion seriously. She's one of the major players and a true original, so this morning when I read that she would be collaborating with Barney's on a special 6 week art installation titled "Fashion as Art" I wasn't too surprised. What caught my attention was the fact that she herself will be getting dressed in the Madison Avenue flagship's windows to get ready for the Met's Costume Institute Gala on May 2nd. The project launch will coincide with the "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" exhibition at the Met. As McQueen's greatest muse and faithful supporter, her extensive collection of clothing will be on display along with several pieces from the Isabella Blow archives of which she bought the entire lot back in 2010. My understanding is that she'll be getting dressed, in McQueen no doubt, and doing all her own makeup and hair on full display for the public. That process must be fascinating to watch! Again, New York is where it's at.

HARPER'S BAZAAR UK EDITION - MAY 2011


I can't wait for the upcoming May issue of UK Bazaar to come out! Kate Moss stars is the special double cover issue wearing both the ruffled organza dress made famous in the unforgettable hologram from Alexander McQueen's FW 2006 "Widows of Culloden" show and a beautiful white gown from Sarah Burton's first collection for the label. Inside the pages, Kate along with other McQueen muses Daphne Guinness and Annabelle Neilson are shot in a series of what are sure to be stunning, impressive images highlighting the late designer's creations. Clearly McQueen's legacy lives on with a retrospective on his work being presented at the  Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and as the fashion world continues to honour him. Although I wasn't a huge fan of his actual designs, I definitely admired him for the creative force he was and the true talent he possessed. Just like anything, even if it's not my taste per say, as long as its done well and with true conviction I can appreciate the effort 100%.
