Alexander McQueen is in my top 3 favorite designers of all time. Sadly, I do not own any of his pieces but I know in do time I will. Ever since I saw the Skull Clutches and the Faithful Glove Clutch, I became an instant obsessed fan. McQueen was one of these designers that was eccentric /unique and that always showed in his fashion shows and pieces. Thankfully, the brand has decided to continue designing the way Alexander McQueen had always dreamed of.

A simple bucket style handbag from Alexander McQueen? Sounds a little weird, doesn’t it? It certainly isn’t something that you see everyday. But that isn’t necessarily a bad thing! I love watching the designs evolve and change, now that Sarah Burton has taken the reins. She has been experimenting and this design is a product of that. And not a bad product, if I do say so myself. I love it! Introducing the Alexander McQueen Chain-Embellished Bucket Bag!

The fashion world is abuzz with the current showing at the Met in NYC of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty now through July 31. If you have an opportunity to see this amazing perspective on McQueen’s artistic creations, you should definitely plan to attend. McQueen was a genius beyond genius at creating edgy, gothic creations that are a marriage of dangerous visuals, meticulous construction and graceful beauty.

Much like McQueen’s fashion designs, the clutches have become an iconic handbag much like a classic Chanel, Bottega Veneta’s woven leathers or Birkin. These delightful creations are for the fashionista who wants a little bit of edge whether she is in a graceful grecian gown or dark and edgy couture. Each new version extends the McQueen design style, pushing the boundaries of accessories to art.

Went to the local Nordstrom‘s here in Seattle yesterday, well truthfully I stop in there everyday as part of my daily walk, anyways I was checking out their new look book for Fall and fell instantly in love with Alexander McQueen’s BlackBerry Phone case. I need this! If I remember correctly, it was only $200 and it came in black leather with a red croc-print or a pony leopard-print bottom (obviously Love the Leopard!) with a fantastic little signature McQueen skull head charm. The name of the piece was described as only for “Blackberry” users There were no measurements listed and I couldn’t find any pictures or details yet online. Last month after like 4 years I traded in my iPhone for a big HTC phone. Hopefully it will fit! So I just put my name down in the book to be notified once the McQueen stuff comes in.

I love clutches but I especially love them when they are by Alexander McQueen. McQueen’s clutches don’t look any other clutches out there. My favorite clutch by Alexander McQueen is definitely the “Skull Box” clutch. I love how it’s the same clutch every season just with different colors or designs. The price isn’t always enjoyable but each clutch literally looks like a piece of art.

Sometimes McQueen has other clutches that catch my eye. The last clutch that I absolutely loved but never purchased was the “Faithful Glove” clutch. It was unique and very edgy. I recently just spotted the “Pale Flesh” Clutch and I surprisingly liked it. I normally don’t like light clutches but this one screams elegance.

As I say over and over again, I love clutches especially evening ones. Usually, when you carry an evening clutch it’s too compliment a really beautiful outfit you are wearing. To me, you can wear the most gorgeous fashion piece ever, but if you don’t have the right accessories to go with the outfit you just killed your fashion statement. As I always say, accessories finish an outfit.

One of my favorite evening clutches is the Alexander McQueen “Skull” clutch. I absolutely love how each one is basically the same thing just styled differently. Even though each one looks completely different than the next one, they are all so beautiful especially in detail.

When I say the “Crystal” Skull Clutch, I was in heaven. This is by far one of the most beautiful Alexander McQueen clutches I have ever seen! I have a secret obsession with crystals and I think they look good on just about any evening clutch. When I think of an evening clutch, I think of something with a little bling. So in my opinion evening clutches and crystals go hand in hand.

Alexander McQueen’s legacy continues with beautiful, opulent prints and stylings in womenswear and accessories. McQueen designs are luxurious but always maintain a bit of edge to keep it interesting. The printed Samurai canvas tote is a wonderful example of this edgy luxury.

An opulent and highly coveted samurai print on the canvas material is accented by a little gold skull chain that is removable, an intricate rope detail is rusty red all framed with a beautiful leather trim. The front of the bag features a subtle embossed “AMQ”. Taller double top handles with an 8″ drop make this tote useful as a shoulder bag as well. A clever hidden buckle strap keeps the roomy bag from falling open and spilling out the contents.

I’ve always been a fan of Alexander McQueen. The way he combined art with fashion was always so captivating and mind blowing. It was always as if that each collection he released told a different story that the previous one. For a while now, I’ve been a huge fan of the “Faithful” collection. At first, I was in love with (and still am) the Faithful “Glove” Clutch. The whole idea of the clutch was very different than anything I had ever seen before. It had a very edgy look, which it was my wardrobe is on a daily basis.

Now, I love the Faithful Pochette. It’s not quite like the “Glove” clutch but it has it’s similarities. If I had to choose between the two I would obviously still pick the clutch but I must admit the pochette is really cute too. It still goes great with the rocker chick/edgy look and would be great to travel with.
