Fashion Week Comes To An End; McQueen Is The Winner

Alright, so Fashion Week is not actually a competition--but Fashion Week is over (tear), and really, Alexander McQueen showed what is almost unanimously considered the best collection to hit the runways this season--his day-of-the-leap year collection made for a true leap forward in fashion. He's always been my favourite designer, and even having memorized his last 10 collections I'm still blown away. It is absolutely stunning.

"The one element that has gone missing in the collections is the spine-tingling, eye-welling emotion of a show so exceptional to witness that--despite all exhaustion, cynicism, and workaday pressures--it suddenly transforms being involved in fashion into a magical privilege. Just when it seemed like that feeling was virtually extinct, Alexander McQueen handed his audience a self-imagined fantasy of crinolined princesses and British-colonial romance of such beauty, it arguably surpassed anything he's achieved in 14 years."--Sarah Mower, head critic for style.com

So you have my pick for #1. Stay tuned for my top 10 out of all the cities, and some blathering on about Project Runway--the finale of which, I'm sure you know, is on tonight! If you live in America and can actually watch it as it premieres, I am envious--do it!
