Back in February, Alexander McQueen unveiled his FALL '08 collection in Paris. An elegant parade of crinolines and royal romance, by far his most brilliant, exciting work in years...
McQueen puts a rather dark and edgy twist on british royal nostalgia, "echoing the heydayof Norman Hartnell and Hardy Aimes' fifties British couture as worn by Queen Elisabeth II." (Sarah Mower for Style.com)
McQueen apparently evoked inspiration for these pieces from a 600 year old elm tree growing in his garden. He stated "I made up this story of a girl who lives in it and comes out of the darkness to meet a Prince and became a Queen." WOW! Gotta Luv that magical little kook! Below are a few of Luv It To Death's favorite 'Bad Ass Chick' looks for this FALL
Of course, we can't forget Betsey Johnson, always a Luv It To Death fave!
The funky lady, famous for her crazy color combos, and gypsy-punk miss matched pieces, does it again! For her FALL collection, Betsey J created a dark, smokey runway in NYC's Bryant Park, complimented by exposed brick facades, live bongo players and even copies of Kerouac's "On The Road." Holly shit. What a perfect place for her fabulously styled, 50's-hip pieces
We are particularly keen on the lime colored Lurex leopard leggings! Fabulously matched with a black blazer and a chain adorned patent leather fanny pack. Dig on the cool hats too...
Betsey said she went for the "bold, black, beatnik" vibe in this show, but didn't forget to peep that rich, radiant color she is famous for! Luv that bright banana yellow sweater with an all over pistol print paired with black spandex and a studded belt
"It's kick-ass with a harder edge, in a Joan Jett kind of way."
-Betsey Johnson
Our absolute FAVORITE inspirations for this FALL come from none other than Alexander Wang, who premiered a grungy, 'warrior-esque' collection in NYC
These pieces, worn by sexy-tough bitches who ain't afraid to fight, show us an awesome version of Wang we don't get to see that often... but we Luv it
We Luv the sleek, sexy lines paired with baggy blazers, ripped tights and black beanies!
Zippers everywhere, including on the knee high leather boots! Pencil skirts paired with sheer, dingy white tee's! Oversized blouses with knee socks and ankle boots! This line pretty much embodies the heart and soul of Luv It To Death. Look out this FALL for our wicked sexy looks, hand picked and designed just for you by
Some of our other faves and inspirations for this FALL come from Sass & Bide, Vivienne Westwood, and, yes... Topshop.
