Alexander McQueen’s Savage Beauty

It's hard to believe it's already been a year since the tragic death of British designer Alexander McQueen. As the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art gets ready to unveil the exhibit Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty on May 4th we take a look back at his final Paris show called "Plato's Atlantis". When you pulled back the curtain backstage at a McQueen show you never knew what was going to happen, but you always knew it was going to be something out of this world. Our crew was at his last show in Paris on October 6, 2009 and were one of the lucky few that were invited to shoot backstage. The show called Plato's Atlantis was perhaps one of his most extraordinary - an sensory explosion of fashion, beauty, technology and art. Alexander McQueen may be gone but he has left us with some of the most powerful visual experiences the world of fashion will ever know.

Prada Spring 2010 Collection

The Prada girl for Spring 2010 is a modern femme fatale who has a dark innocence about her. Backstage as makeup artist Pat McGrath gave the models bold red lips, hairstylist Guido explained that their side swept hairdos were meant to make them look like a "naughty, innocent troubled girl". It's one of our favorite shows of the season, full of wearable day wear pieces from duchess satin coats to Bermudas. We especially are in love with the silver and crystal embroidered pieces.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 Collection

Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 Collection for Louis Vuitton was fun, young and inspired by new age travelers. The show was over the top - all the models wore gigantic Afros and they looked like accessory-obessed cyber club kids. Jacobs understands what style is about, and knows how to connect with a global audience. For the the first time he streamed the Louis Vuitton runway show live on the LV Facebook page. After the show backstage Katy Perry told us she loves his style - "everything he does is so fresh, Marc is a staple for me" Hair by Guido, Maekup by Pat McGrath.

Gucci Spring 2010

Sexy and glam - that's what the Gucci girl for Spring 2010 is all about. Backstage makeup artist Pat McGrath gave the models fresh glowing skin while Luigi Murenu slicked back the models hair into sharp, shiny ponytails. This was Creative Director Frida Giannini's intention to make the girls look sleek, sexy and confident. This Gucci collection is one of Giannini's best collections for the Italian house. It's full of strong graphic pieces, and the body conscious metallic and crystal evening dresses are some of the hottest of the season.

Alexander McQueen’s Last Paris Show

Alexander McQueen liked blowing people's minds. His fashion shows were a cinematic visual feast, an explosion of beauty and fashion, technology and art. We were one of the only crews allowed backstage at his last show in Paris in October 6, 2009.  The show called Plato's Atlantis was inspired by Darwin's theory of evolution and the show was streamed live on Nick Knight's Showstudio.com. His final Paris fashion show for Spring 2010 really captures everything that Alexander McQueen was about.  He was a fearless visionary who wasn't afraid to take risks, and knew that looking forward to the future is what fashion is really all about. Alexander Lee McQueen died tragically on Thursday, February 11, 2010. The world of fashion will never be the same without him.
