Alexander McQueen Sunglasses

Alexander McQueen who was found dead at his London home in February 2010 was the dark star of international fashion, whose signature skull trademark is immortalised on the side of a pair of Alexander McQueen sunglasses. He was known throughout his career as fashion maverick, fusing unique materials with skilled craftsmanship, and the Alexander McQueen sunglasses collection is no exception.

Proof that skulls are not just for Goths, stylish Alexander McQueen 4156 aviator sunglasses feature three-dimensional skulls which look out from the temple for a bold statement while serving as a genuine tribute to his craft and spirit.

Alexander McQueen 4147, as seen on Catherine Zeta Jones, is a curvaceous butterfly shape. The temples feature the CQ logo in a wavy line that conveys certain sophistication, underscored by chic crystal coloured contours.

These fantastical creations have been worn by celebrities such as Cheryl Cole and Lady GaGa whose music video (Bad Romance) premiered at the showing of his spring/summer 2010 collection at Paris Fashion Week.

‘Fashion has lost one of its most talented and inspirational figures’ said pop singer Cheryl Cole upon hearing the news of his death, who looked stunning in his 4129 design during the X Factor auditions.

Alexander McQueen clothing and accessories make more headlines than the celebrities who wear them and have helped put London on the fashion map. Fashion has fallen-hard-in-love with Alexander McQueen over the years and will no doubt continue to fall for this remarkable figure and his amazing sunglasses. McQueen is dead. Long live McQueen.

Fashion mourns the loss of Alexander McQueen

 
The fashion world is in mourning after the loss of one it’s most extraordinary and creative talents. Alexander McQueen, whose imagination knew no bounds, was found dead at his London home today, his spokeswoman said. He was 40 years old.

His company spokeswoman (Samantha Garrett) said that his body was found early this morning but had no information ‘in terms of circumstances’, though there is growing speculation his death was in fact cause by suicide. Police have yet to comment on how he died, but said the death wasn’t being treated as suspicious.

Tributes to the fashion icon have been pouring in. ‘McQueen influenced a whole generation of designers. His brilliant imagination knew no bounds as he conjured up collection after collection of extraordinary designs,’ said Alexandra Shulman, the editor of British Vogue.

‘At one level he was a master of the fantastic, creating astounding fashions shows that mixed design, technology and performance and on another he was a modern day genius whose gothic aesthetic was adopted by women the world over.’

 

 

 

 

His fantastical creations have been worn by celebrities Cheryl Cole and Lady GaGa whose music video (Bad Romance) premiered at the showing of his spring/summer 2010 collection at Paris Fashion Week. The video features the outlandishly dressed singer wearing a number of his designs such as an infamous pair of 12-inch Armadillo platform boots. Cheryl Cole also made headlines when she wore a highly risqué Alexander McQueen dress on her 26^th birthday in July last year.

The former British designer of the year began his career in Savile Row, London, where he learned how to tailor suits at Gieves and Hawkes.

In 1996, he was appointed as head designer of the Givenchy fashion house and the rest, as they say, is history.

A statement released by his office that refers to the fashion designer by his given first name (Lee) read ‘On behalf of Lee McQueen's family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand has been found dead at his home.

‘At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee's family. ‘

Alexander McQueen was one of the most influential fashion designers of our time whose weird and wonderful designs put London on the fashion map. The fashion world has fallen-hard-in-love with Alexander McQueen over the years and will no doubt continue to fall for this remarkable figure.

Alexander McQueen 4132

As you can tell from these frames, Alexander McQueen is a risk taking controversialist. His designs have given him the title of the ‘bad boy of fashion.’ His elegant designs and luxurious style reputation exceeds him and quite rightly as McQueen has become iconic amongst designers everywhere.

 

True to his style, McQueen has designed some coloured flamboyant frames which command attention where ever they go. Oval shaped lenses and butterflied winged frames make for a plush combo which guarantees to lift your eyes and brighten your face.  

Cleverly the designers at McQueen have chosen Autumn colours for their frames which warm your face and create heated hues. Instead of block the whole frame with one colour, the design chosen is two tone translucent clear and maroon purple on the one frame. The maroon to clear transition is smoothed by the light blue spray to soften the contrast. And on the other? Burnt orange and the same translucent clear middle. Daring? Yes. But can McQueen carry it off? Yes. Although I will advise you to choose wisely. These are extremely elegant frames but I would say appeal to those ladies who like class as well as quirk.

Finishing off the frames perfectly is the Gold embossed Alexander McQueen name. This wavy edged frame has been seen across designer ranges a lot recently proving its popularity and success. Such frames include the Prada butterfly and the Marc Jacobs 134’s.

Perfectly delicate stems are very in keeping with this carefully shaped frame, keeping the level of class to the upmost top level expected with this designer name.

Alexander McQueen 4148

Following the aviator designer suit is these perfectly formed 4148’s from Alexander McQueen.

 

Establishing themselves as a brand which isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of modern fashion and be a bit risqué with their designs is why we love Mr Alexander McQueen. Controversial design and striking colour and patterns in his runway shows grabbed our attention and interest from the beginning. Moving onto producing sunglasses intrigued us to just how far McQueen could go with his imagination.

Being the son of a taxi driver bought up in East London wouldn’t ordinarily lend itself to a future as a designer. However, against the odds, McQueen went on to be one of the youngest designers to achieve ‘British design of the Year.’

I am personally blown away by these sunglasses. They just absolutely ooze class and luxury. Crafted from only the best materials and it shows. The sheer excellence of the carefully curved teardrop lenses, accentuated by the thicker deep Ruthen brow bar absolutely spill class. Naturally, the lenses are grey gradient, the height of current trend.

Giving it the defining designers touch is the unconventional, yet so McQueen detailing. Lightly tinted wood look panels are incorporated into the stems. Deep black against the light wooden stems give an innovative class without being ostentatious.

See yourself holidaying in Miami, rubbing shoulders with the celeb elite? Not to worry, these stunning frames will stand you in good stead for mingling with the stars.
