Alexander McQueen Fall 2010 Presentation - PFW

In a very private invite only presentation held last week in Paris, Alexander McQueen's final collection was shown in a beautiful gilded salon at the headquarters of Francois Pinault.  The 16 piece collection inspired by Byzantine art and Old Masters paintings as well as the carvings and sculptures of Grinling Gibbons, had only been 80% complete at the time of McQueen's death and each piece being hand sewn by the designer himself proves why he was such a celebrated craftsman...an artist.

There is something very eerie about this collection...it's almost hauntingly beautiful, but sullen.  Maybe it's because we are so used to the theatrics of a McQueen show that you can't help but feel like something is missing as you look at this small intimate presentation in this quietly beautiful space in Paris.  Or maybe it's the inspiration of the collection itself, The Dark Ages. 

Either way there is something very poetic about the whole thing.  And isn't that the meaning of life anyway...finding the poetry, the irony, the beauty...the light within the dark?

Kelis performing at Club 57 in NYC on Saturday.  I'm not sure if this is one long 10 minute song or if it's two songs...either way I think I actually kinda like the second song OR the second half of the song.

{a film by tamra davis}

 

More than 20 years after his death, Jean-Michel Basquiat's friend Tamra Davis releases a documentary highlighting never before seen footage of the artist filmed in 1986. The documentary which premiered at Sundance last month is said to set the record straight on Julian Schnabel’s fictional film Basquiat.

Dizzy Gillespie's "Salt Peanuts, Salt Peanuts!" was enough to sell me on this doc and I will definitely be taking a trip to my local theater or playhouse to get an insiders intimate look at one of the most famous African-American contemporary artist of our time.
