Salma Hayek has always baffled me! She looks gorgeous in absolutely EVERY photo of the June spread of Instyle magazine. I especially loved her quote, "sexy means never trying to hard," this should be every woman's mantra. Hard to believe this woman is 43 and a mother! I love her in the Alexander McQueen dress as well every other picture!
These are not shoes they are seriously works of art. These are the shoes from McQueen's fall 2010 collection. They are inspired by the art of the dark ages, McQueen manages to find some soft aspects in the darkness. It is this play on finding joy in the darkness of the art that makes these truly a work of art by a true artist. 
Although it is not a carbon copy Topshop gains inspiration for this dress from the Alexander McQueen SS '10 show. It is also hard to deny the Versace feel of the garment as well. I mean I don't know how I feel about this.. is it a respectful homage and should be taken as a compliment or is it kind of tasteless to try and make money from the passing of the fashion genius' ideas?
McQueen's last collection was shown and given honor in a small intimate low profile setting. It was an opportunity for those closest to him to grieve and marvel at his genius. The pieces were 80 percent finished at the time of his death. Sarah Burton, his right hand, has said that with this collection, "He wanted to get back to the handcraft he loved, and the things that are being lost in the making of fashion. For this collection " he was looking at the art of the Dark Ages, but finding light and beauty in it." For these garments he had ordered fabric that had digital photographs of church angles and demons to create these unique pieces.
