Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 2010-2011 (Angels & Dæmons)

[@spaceydaze9335]

this collection is so breathtaking and so beautiful, it makes my heart stop. and the fact that it was presented in the old school way of showing one piece at a time and very slowly so you can appreciate every detail just adds to the elegance. this collection is on another level.

[@jennyjones6605]

Very beautiful. I agree. Breathtaking.

[@xochitl9161]

i agree. It's exquisite.

These last pieces of McQueen's are so breathtaking. Couture at its finest. Perhaps the greatest couturier of all time.

There will never be another Alexander Mcqueen!

[@JMLCK78]

Don't be ridiculous, he was nowhere near Balenciaga's level

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

Every single detail is perfection. McQueen will forever be art. ❤

[@ladybugger76]

How emotional and sadly beautiful. All those fashion world VIPs, quietly shattered and in awe of the last genius they will see from Lee. The loss of one so brilliant and dynamic is still devastating eleven years on. There will never be another like McQueen. All were mourning in that room, even the models who knew him as well.

[@Missclassy81]

The shoes even the shoes 😥 everything perfect

[@pedrocarrazana1157]

my favorite collection from him, I also loved the horn of plenty and atlantis

[@orangewedges]

All my favourite collections, as well as Widows of Culloden...and the Girl Who Lived in the Tree...and Voss...and, oh heck, I loved all of them really!!!

What a beautiful collection. Really majestic. What a loss. Lee, we miss you.

[@렌렌-q8w]

The last model who wore the gold feather coat is Polina Kasina and she was the house model for McQueen and was a best friend to Lee. It’s nice that she got to wear the last piece of this collection and the previous one!❤️

[@milenaszczesnik845]

This is pure art.

[@MiriamForrester]

The people watching this show really didn't look like they realised they were watching such an iconic moment in fashion history...

[@MiriamForrester]

+SpacePyramid I in no way, shape, or form meant to cause offense lovely. It was simply an observation based on the hindsight of knowing the legendary status and influence this show would come to hold. It wasn't meant to undermine them, nor suggest that they should've been able to recognise that fact immediately. Xx

[@nicolasicard9274]

+Miriam Forrester oh trust me they realized how important this show was...sometimes you can't observe emotions on other people's face, but it was such an important show, suzy menkes was in tears when she walked out of the show

[@evangelineloves9]

Angel, McQueen had just died.. Weeks prior to this show. They look sick. Their friend has died and they are seeing what he was going through before taking his own life. They knew.

[@orangewedges]

No, they fully knew. This collection was McQueen's final bow and they were well aware of it. Only a select few people were invited to this show so I would say they knew more than even we did just how important this was.

[@Gojendees]

He had just passed away a few weeks prior and this was and unfinished collection.

[@theoldmule3619]

The music is so beautiful. Really compliments the clothes and the mood in the room

[@goldenglove4663]

he knew he was going to take his life if you see the collection you will notice the celestial and angelic magic...Heronous Bosche painting is printed on the clothes. It is absolutely a vision. He knew he had done enough and it was time for him to go. He was a sweet man who knew he had told his story and it was necessary to leave this world.. and so he did.

[@massimopezzei9119]

i think there s been more of that in his life story,,,,,but i won t dwelve into that,,,,,,Angels & demons sure says a lot about where he was,,,,in his mind,,,,,,,Sadly the Demon of his pain took over.......Ciao Lee,,,,,,,,now like a Star in the skys,,,,,❤

[@camaleon9]

If the death of McQueen left this wonder, imagine if the collection had been fully developed.

[@kevinrybak8638]

Absolutely stunning. Just breathtaking.

MUSIC: The first song up until 14:57 was the first movement from Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73 by Brahms (credit to David Roddis in the comments) The 2nd song starting at 15:00, however, is Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 31 in A Flat, Op.110: 3. Adagio ma non troppo - Fuga (Allegro ma non troppo). Someone posted that, but I think it disappeared. Just wanted to post it all-in-one. Enjoy! 😊

Abigail Lee The music up to 14:57 is the first movement from the Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73, by Brahms. Beautiful choice for this show.

[@gishforbreakfast0]

After his passing I can’t go back and watch his shows without having a breakdown half way. It honestly hurts too much to know that they decided to continue AmQ without him. Fucking disgusting truths about the industry.

[@good2btheking]

Could not agree with you more. He himself said in an interview that after him they may as well burn the house down. Every time I watch a new "McQueen" show I always comment "This is not McQueen" and it never will be.

[@leeannasloan2292]

@@good2btheking exactly, thank you.

[@lion6460]

If you read the book "Gods & Kings" you'll realize that Alexander McQueen wanted his name to live on. It was one of the last things he was concerned about before he took his own life. Frankly, I'm happy his label continues because it keeps him alive in some way for all time. It makes sure that the world remembers him and his artistic genius. If not, then he would just fade into history like other fashion trail blazers who came long before him but are now forgotten by those who don't know their fashion history. Alexander McQueen has achieved immortality, and those of us who loved his fashion should be happy that his name lives on forever more.

McQueen does royal so well!

[@beyzee8516]

Just look at the audience when Karlie does the walk. She came out twice, and captured the attention of the audience TWICE! That is modeling- a model becomes the clothe. 👊🏼

[@leonardobaldivia1]

fashion, couture and drama, love

[@donglabong]

the shame is no one at McQueen now seems to dare to send something out looking so imaginative, so creative, so tailored to perfection- it's all just ruffles ruffles and more ruffles since the day he died. If you look back at the first collections for Givenchy, and the seminal collections under his own label, the brand has lost its identity. It's nothing like what it should be... all for a Gucci profit?

[@slowpainful]

There's no replacement, it must be hell for the designer chosen to continue the line - they have to maintain the "look" of the house, yet be original ... it's an impossible task, surely. They can't win, whatever they do...

[@katiesmith1062]

They really can’t copy his looks. No one can do what he did. No one. That’s what was so beautiful about his pieces. He was truly unique and one of a kind. What would it say about them as designers if they tried to copy his look? The label didn’t need to die with him. The line is still unique and different, but no one can do what he did.

[@ryandennis3295]

The person who took over as creative director is Sarah Burton who worked under him for 14 years, It's the Mcqueen brand with Sarah's vision now. It's still Mcqueen just more feminine, she's Sarah not McQueen, get it?

[@Essewimyn]

I think everyone is comparing McQueen npw to Alexander McQueen's most beautiful and developed garments. Many of which were conceived and developed with the team input. Then there is the issue of the ART he did slowly being developed. It takes more than talent to develop both craft and design--where to go forward, to look at the structure and planes of the garment the action walking, the patterns and how they would affect the viewer. The fabric texture, etc. This is development of the artist personally and their art. Every house has to develop the house and each artist in it personally. Even his early collections were not developed conceptually.or visually at the level this was. TY for reading this. I had to talk about my appreciation for Alexander McQueen and the beauty and craft of his and the house's work. I feel this way about many houses but his will always be the house that teaches me about my own art.

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

@@ryandennis3295 Sarah is definitely talented but she doesn't have the technical proficiency in tailoring; Mcqueen was a master of tailoring and construction, his clothes were like Japanese Origami yet flowed & moved over the body in a way that was deeply rooted in the tradition of clothing. He mastered 6 forms of pattern cutting from the 16th century and spent years training on the Saville Row, he was a technician but also an artist!

Is this Lee's final work, Shakespeare said once, to or not to be? Since he passed away, think Mcqeen style is in a glass bubble theses days, it hasn't moved forward, need a new designer at the helm, looks same old same old, really loved his style of work, romantic and dark at the same time...was lucky enough to have a interview at his design studio, all I can say we miss him so deeply, god rest his soul, x x x

[@jessicafashionlover2148]

yes I'm sure Sarah Burton finish it this collection is beautiful but as lately McQueen collections are horrible

[@gishforbreakfast0]

No one should have continued his legacy. That’s the one thing he expressed. He said it would make no sense for someone else to take on after him because his designs were from his soul, his experience. And they were so personal to him. How can someone re create that? So yes, it should of stayed in the past with him. Everything the MCQueen house is doing now is pure disrespect and the industry took advantage, like they always do, of a talented and hurt artist.

[@rodval2322]

@@gishforbreakfast0 Yeah, I love Lee but selling his brand to the Gucci Group isn't the best choice if you want you house to end when you die. Alexander McQueen is just art, avant-garde and beauty, it's a worldwide business, of course those money hungry men don't care about him being dead, they'll keep up with McQueen under Sarah or under anyone who can make clothes, perfumes and accessories that sell.
