During her 2012 showcase in New York, her pieces pulled on the heart strings of couture and mirrored the aesthetic of modern Hollywood glamour (with a coat of drama of course).
Each piece explored color, cuts, style, and eventually exploded into innovation; with dresses created out of lace-braziers (we’re thinking b-cups).
With such inspiration, the spirit of Alexander McQueen would dance, and perhaps flip. Watch the video.
