This blog documents my life with my daughter Isabel as we learn, grow, shop, photograph, travel, eat, create and experience this world together.

Who Else but McQueen?
Who else but Alexander McQueen would dare take the skeletal design of something so inherently geeky and Sci-Fi as the alien from Ridley Scott's classic "Alien" and interpret it so brilliantly in a shoe?! Here you can see that McQueen has used the "IT" shoe shape of the season, a mega high heel with built in platform, added a peep toe opening, then translated it into something utterly inspired. Never taking himself too seriously, it was this kind of tongue-in-cheek approach to high fashion that contributed to his great achievement as one of the most significant designers of the last 2 decades.
