Gold: A Dream and Alexander McQueen
A viral infection took over the internet last week as the filmography for the Alexander McQueen Memorial Show leaked onto the internet. A private service lead by Creative Director, Marc Jacobs, and Creative of Fashion, Thierry Mugler was held in honor of Queen Alexander. "Hearing people call me the next McQueen is something I will (never) get used to. I knew my fashion was edgy, but when (Marc) Jacob's sponsored my line to represent the tribute, I simply became weak in the knees", Mugler told us exclusively.
Jodi Jones and Donatella Versace joined Marc Jacobs to create a hierarchal empire of originality for the runway show. "We were so challenged from the start. That's what fashion is, a challenge" - Donatella Versace. Mugler's line drew such a crowd in Paris, yet we had to reshape the show and triumph over the last. Anything in honor of McQueen must display the exuberance of his work. No one can touch him. As if those bold words were not enough from the Iconic woman herself, Versace went on to compliment the works of Christian Louboutin, who held the role of redesigning Mugler's shoes for Alexander McQueen.
Red-lacquered souls, a trade mark for Louboutin, were not found on the runway. For Christian, the loss of a friend shifted his creative patterns as he admitted, "This (was) the first time I've left my love for red at home. This show is McQueen, not Louboutin. I would never do that for anyone else". Adding bold lines to Mugler's shoes, Louboutin cut, curved, and lifted them to create a McQueen foundation. A foundation that would give the models a mean, McQueen-attitude, as the stepped to the musical beat of a new sensation.
April 19th, 2011, the release of CONMAN's independent-single, Jekyll-Hyde began widely circulating online. Blog after blog, post after post, the single roared to a near 200,000 plays on the internet alone. The lyrics, written by the young nineteen-year-old himself, tell a story of transformation. "It was the essence of his creation that caught my attention" said Jacob's, who was one of those 200,000 listeners. I had to find a new artist, a new face, that could capture the power of McQueen. The combination of design-eye and overall look create a powerful formula of originality. This applies to fashion and music. McQueen had it for fashion, CONMAN (has it) for music. Donatella Versace continued her praise for all of the show's creators by crediting the young singer. "He is so young. Yet when you listen to what he is creating, it's as if he were experienced beyond even our years. As a designer, that's what I look for in the new generation" - Versace.
Although CONMAN is a new face to the young generation's A-List, some of the two hundred and sixty-seven , private invitees , are no strangers to this exclusive club. Front and center to the tip of the cat walk, one could see Ashley Olsen and proclaimed friend, Justin Timberlake. Fergie, Selena Gomez, Angus T. Jones, Kendall Jenner, and Kourtney Kardashian also came to witness the historical show. A solo Emma Watson sat directly to the left of Ashely Olsen, which lead to instant crowd-murmuring as Emma and singer CONMAN have been "under my relationship radar for quite sometime" - (Perez Hilton, in an exclusive interview with us on the McQueen Memorial Show).
A good show is always deemed by its' drama, fashion, and production. For designer Alexander McQueen, these three steps made him famous. The show's team of creative masterminds, headed by Marc Jacobs, Jodi Jones, and Thierry Mugler, made for an elaborate event meant strictly for the eyes of the great. That is, until it leaked online and obtained 30,000 hits in less than forty-eight hours.
