McQueen has did it once again with his new collection. He is one of my favorite designers and his work is simply amazing and creative. In his Fall/Winter 2010 collection he was is inspired by Byzantine art, the carvings of Grinling Gibbons, and Old Master paintings and altar pieces including, in particular, works by Jean Fouquet, Sandro Botticelli, Stephan Lochner, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes, Jean Hey and Heironymus Bosch. McQueen has brought back the true craft and creativeness of fashion back to the table. His line portrays a poetic and medieval beauty that still has a modern look.
I believe this collection rebels from the direction fashion is going in today. With the long gowns and short draped dresses it brings back a more vintage look; calm and simplicity. His last collection was simply outstanding and he will truly be missed in the world of fashion. McQueen may not be here with us physically but his work, achievements, and perspective on fashion will continue to live on in the world of fashion.
