McQueen's Sales Go Up...And a New McQueen Scarf

Since Alexander McQueen died on February 11, the company sales have gone up by 1,400 percent. I am not surprised, as when anyone is gone, their work becomes more sought after. Unfortunately, now I will probably not be able to own a McQueen piece.

Alexander McQueen designed a limited edition Canadian themed scarf for the celebration of the Olympics for the Canadian store Holt Renfew. The scarves have skulls and maple leafs. There were only 250 scarves made at were priced at $450. I would love to get my hands on one of those!

Michael Kors Fashion Show

The Michael Kors Fall 2010 fashion show was this morning in New York. The pieces have a lot of fur, wool, big sweaters, and an overall luxe feel. I think this collection makes you feel as if you are sitting by the fireplace of a ski chalet. He shows some skin on some pieces, which add a sexy touch.
Here are some of my favorite looks.


I love the exaggerated cowl neck sweater-dress.


Very chic!


A nice take on menswear, which is a big trend this season!


Classic


Another exaggerated cowl neck sweater dress.


A sexier, shorter wintery knit dress.


A classic, but sexy winter look.


A nice, short sweater dress with a full jacket.


A sexy, v-neck dress.

And now the final pieces to the Michael Kors Fall 2010 collection, some beautiful dresses...


Exaggerated cowl neck dress


A flirty gold sparkled dress


Sexy v-neck black sparkled dress. Two great sexy combinations: v-neck and sparkles!


Long, gold sparkle dress


Long, black sparkle dress

Michael Kors has outdone himself again! The collection is stunning.

As always, you can see him on Project Runway on Thursdays at 10pm on Lifetime.
