The type of fashion that McQueen did wasn't made to wear out on the streets! It's art on the body!

Learn the art before you go ranting about it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joshy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 9:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[Regal plush textiles, incredible unique design and a feast for the eye. The last McQueen collection throws down a gauntlet of challenges for all designers. Obviously he has raised the bar-it is up to all in haute coutoure to respect that challenge and work to achieve this level of excellence. Classism taken to the new millennial heights.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pierpoint Windsor]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 1:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[HAHAHAHA.

That's because no one in their right mind would WEAR this crap. God almighty, how about something comfortable and classy and attractive to wear? I am not surprised this hideous collection was designed by a man.  Are you kidding me? What? Haute couture is just another name for grotesque and ridiculous nowadays. I guess anyone can call themselves a designer,if Bristol Palin can call herself a consultant! Really,who would pay to consult with an unmarried,single mother,high school dropout? Am I living in a dream world or what?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 1:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[You're living in a world of idiocy! The type of fashion that McQueen does isn't meant to be worn out on the street! It is art on the body, like a painting of a sculpture. It is fed by imagination and inspiration. You probably wouldn't know that, and to be honest, you sound like you're just full of sour grapes because you just don't get it Karen. Not ANYBODY can be a designer. There are plenty of designers who make stuff that you DO wear out on the street, but he isn't one of them, and if you knew the art you would know that before opening your mouth. Learn the art before having a fit about it ma'am.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joshy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 9:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[Looks like we have some baseball umpires here.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 1:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[great post. mcqueen was a master. he set the pace for a lot of designers. haute couture, believe me, is what you buy at the local target. a true master of his craft.<br>brian]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[aquasanta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 2:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[And you call that fashion?  that is disgusting  at its best.. thank goodness I am not a sophisticated fashion critic that is so self important they think what they say has merit.   those dress would be an embarrassment to be seen  in...      owen]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[owen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 2:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA["Inspired fashion, gorgeous collection, regal plush textiles, incredible, unique design"?  WOW!!!    What the hell are you people smoking anyway??  This stuff is runway ONLY, nothing that would ever be worn by anyone in public, and you know it!!  Fashion is never any of the above discriptions anymore.  It is all, revamped, restructured articles of the same o same o, again and again!  Get real!  That thing on the models head looks like a skull cap actors use so a wig can be worn over it and look like real hair.  Give me a break!  Go find any woman, or queen for that matter, in the world who has anything like this stuff on any time any where, I dare you!!!!!!!  HaHaHa- - - Loony Toons!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BarbaraAnn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 2:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm sorry you cannot see just how brilliant some of these pieces of art are.<br>If you think you are living in a dream world. I believe you may be right. <br>Why would you ever imagine that any of these, sometimes breathtaking pieces were made to be worn in an everyday setting? That's not what this colletion was  designed for. <br>If you call the extraordinary workmanship in these pieces "Crap", then I suggest you need to think about your general attitude to other people, because that is an extremely disrespectful and hurtful thing to say. You need to take time to look a little closer and realise the amount of painstaking work that goes into just one of these pieces, never mind the whole collection.<br>Say what you will. We have lost another tortured genius.<br>I trust you never have the problems of being either.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alakazam]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 2:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[The fact that no one ever really wears it outside of the runway makes it even DUMBER! What a waste of time and energy. At least you can buy and display a painting. If clothes designed by a "fashion designer" can't be worn,why make them at all?  Wow,some people will call anything "art".Talk about the ultimate in over-indulging oneself in making this stuff. Use your God-give talents to clothe some cold,starving children,instead of throwing yourself a show and patting yourself on the back.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 9:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well,as a matter of fact, YES anyone can be a designer.....Madonna,Miley Cyrus,Nicole Ritchie. The list goes on. Who are you kidding? You can call it art if you want,but I am certainly entitled to MY opinion. You would be very surprised to know my background,so before you go calling people idiots,remember everyone has an opinion and yours is no more important than mine.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 9:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[Fine! Anyone can be a fashion designer, but not anyone can be good at it! Something tells me I wouldn't be surprised of your background...it is art, have fun with your opinion, it's closed minded and idiotic. For the love of god, the man just died, have some respect and shut your mouth.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jmudgett6]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2010 10:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[While these are extreme looks that one wouldn't likely wear in the real world, there is potential for them to be "tamed down", so to speak, from the intense look shown on the runway, to one that would be doable for some evening wear, and have retail value.  I could see number 1, 7, and the last three having potential for something I would wear, if they were a bit more realistic, but keeping the color schemes, materials, design, etc.  Just making them more wearable.  Actually, really like number 1 a lot.  Often, someone has to be radically creative and inventive for an idea to finalize to something practical.  Have an idea, create, fail, learn from mistakes, retool idea, create again, it is a process.  Many of our favorite things were likely discovered and created because of great minds thinking outside the box!  Technology has some of the greatest examples.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Deborah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2010 10:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/03/11/the-fashion-statement-alexander-mcqueens-final-show/</guid><description><![CDATA[The  man took his own life.  I have no sympathy. It sickens me to see people who obviously were given talent(according to HIS world) and then throw it all away. The worst thing is that he took the gift of his life so lightly, that he thought he could play God and decide when he should die. GOD decides  that. And before you think I am some religious nut,think again,but I DO think no one has the right to end his own life. It's GOD'S life to give and GOD'S life to take. The audacity of someone to think they are more important than God,that they can play God with something so precious. He obviously was troubled,which begs the next questions: Where were all his friends and family and why didn't anyone have an inkling?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Karen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2010 10:24AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
