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?

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...
