Fashion News Au-Courant: Feb 18 - 25

....What happened in Fashion Last Week.

This is the first fashion news feature (of many to come), that will be posted as a weekly highlight of current articles all related to fashion and the industry. Excluding this current post, we will update it every Sunday, so it will cover anything that happened during the week. We hope that it will aid you all in staying stylishly informed, and bring about insightful discussion!

I. The Legacy Lives On - McQueen - What will happen with the Fashion house...


Alexander McQueen an eccentric designer famous for his unconventional design aesthetic died earlier this month, but it seems that the brand name he built has not. So what will happen with the brand...?


The Gucci Group announced that it will continue to finance the brand, and will still show the collection during Fashion Week. The show will not be an open runway show, but rather a private one held for editors only.


It is still unclear who will take over the design process of McQueen, although everyone knows that perspective McQueen brought to fashion, can never be replaced. Hmm, so who will make Lady Gaga's clothes now?

II. LONDON FASHION WEEK


Februry 19th -24th was the London Fashion Week for FW 2010. Burberry Prorsum, Jonathan Saunders and Paul Costelloe (the opener) were only a few of the many talented designers whose collections were displayed. This was their 25th Anniversary, and the designers definitely lived up to expectations!

III. FILM MEETS FASHION- ALICE IN WONDERLAND


So it seems that there is some sort of trend where movies are now inspiring fashion. Opening Ceremony did a line back in the fall for Where the Wild Things Are, and District 9 became inspiration in Narciso Rodriguez 2010 runway show. I don't know about you guys, but I am ecstatic about the Alice in Wonderland movie coming out soon, cannot wait to wear a character inspired outfit to the opening. And it seems that I am not the only one...
