Alexander McQueen's enduring talent: Fall 2010

Written by Tania Braukamper

A token of his unmistakable genius, Alexander McQueen's final collection made its debut at Paris Fashion Week. Each of the 16 pieces are breathtaking: ornately detailed and sublimely majestic, inspired by art and classical paintings. Gilt feathers breaking out into a voluminous tulle skirt. Dresses paired with black leather thigh-high boots; buckled, with the most baroquely elaborate gold soles. Heavily embroidered coats and gowns in stunning patterns.

With a level of detail beyond what most are capable of even imagining, these pieces are a sombre yet beautiful reminder of what McQueen was capable of, and of what will be missed by so many.

We really like the dress because it is very old fashioned and elegant. It is very sad that Alexander McQueen killed himself because he had such a talent for clothes and now it is all gone...

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania Braukamper certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels.

She says: Vintage will never go out of style
We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
